Folkestone & Hythe District Council's councillors are making plans for the future of the district and we would like your views.
The vast majority of what the council does are things we have to do by law (e.g waste collection, determining planning applications, distributing housing benefit, helping people access housing etc). A small number of staff, as well as councillors, work on areas that are more than essential services, things that make our district better, and this is what we want to consult you on today.
We are developing a plan that is aspirational, with sustainability at its heart. Whilst acknowledging that we must live within our means, it’s important that the work of the council reflects the needs of our residents both now and in the future. The well-being of our communities, the health of the local economy, and concern for the environment are central to our ambition.
To underpin our plans for the future of the district, we are using the United Nations 17 Sustainability Goals as a key guiding framework.
This survey consists of nine key questions and should take around ten minutes to complete. You don’t have to answer all the questions, you can skip those that are less interesting to you. Whatever opinions you'd like to share, we want to hear them.
