Strategic Plan 2025-2028
Stone Town Council’s Strategic Plan for 2025–2028 sets out the Council’s priorities and ambitions for the next three years. Building on the previous plan, it focuses on improving Council services and facilities, strengthening community engagement, protecting and enhancing local green spaces, embracing digital innovation and ensuring the Council remains financially sustainable.
This plan aims to provide insight into the aspirations for the town within which the community, other tiers of authority, local organisations and volunteer groups, and local businesses can engage with us over the next three years.
