Cllr Fleming moved and Cllr Mrs. Davison seconded that the Developing Vision for the District Council be adopted.

The report outlined the developing Vision of the District Council which could be summarised as “Pride in the District of Sevenoaks by working with the Community as a whole, to sustain and develop a fair, safe and thriving local economy.”  The following three core values would guide and define the District Council’s policies for the District and the local area: Fairness, Integrity and Quality.  These three Core Values develop the Vision with the resulting five promises:

i)                    We will provide value for money;

ii)                  We will work in partnership to keep the District of Sevenoaks safe;

iii)                We will continue to collect rubbish efficiently and effectively,

iv)                We will protect the Green Belt;

v)                  We will support and develop the local economy.

Members held a debate on the motion which was put to the vote and CARRIED.

Resolved: that the developing Vision for the District Council be adopted.
