Our priorities

To support the vision for Aldershot and Farnborough 2030, the Cabinet has developed their priorities for the council. Find out more.

In July 2019, the council agreed the  Your future, your place - a vision for Aldershot and Farnborough 2030.  Although we will be working with our partners to help realise the vision, the Cabinet has been developing its priorities to support the delivery of the vision and the continued improvement of council services.

The new priorities fit under the four themes of people, place, partnerships and better public services.
