How we reached our Corporate Strategy priorities

The Corporate Strategy priorities are based on a detailed understanding of the needs of Hampshire's communities and is supported by effective partnerships. Through our market research and consultation programme, we have listened to what residents of Hampshire have to say and what their priorities for improvement are. These alongside a wide range of other information including that relating to the demography of Hampshire and the financial resources avaliable to the Council have helped shape its priorities.

Strong links have been made with partners with mutually supportive priorities across a number of key partnerships including the Hampshire Senate, which oversees the Hampshire Local Area Agreement (LAA) and the Sustainable Community Strategy, the Children and Young People Partnership, the Health and Wellbeing Partnership and the County Strategy Group for Crime and Disorder.
