Introduction
The Corporate Plan sets out Hastings Borough Council's strategic direction and priorities until the end of 2014/15. It includes our targets and some of the activities that will be undertaken in 2012/13 to implement our priorities. This plan reflects local and national issues and was developed with local people and our partners.
Progress against those targets set out in the Corporate Plan are monitored quarterly by our Overview and Scrutiny Committees. This is one of the key means by which the Council is publically held to account.
Based on what local people told us during the Corporate Plan consultation, we have reconfirmed our strategic priorities.
