Strategic Plan 2024-2029 and Consultation reports - Shepton Mallet Town Council

Creating a strategy for the Town Council offers several benefits that more than outweigh the investment of time.

The process of thinking and writing the plan provides clarity for the Council and unites councillors in working together to form the core priorities (themes). If capital is needed from outside sources, the plan will demonstrate a solid understanding and vision for the Council as well as evidence of community need and support. The plan will help prioritise the projects that are most important and map out the work for the coming five years.

The plan offers a common understanding of the vision of the council to the community and prospective new Councillors. Read the plan below:
