Cllr Susan Juned, Leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council said: "Much work and thought has gone into developing this new Council Plan. Councillors, officers and local communities have worked together to create priorities and targets that will benefit all our residents and communities.
"At the heart of this plan is the ambition to make a real difference in our District, to improve local people's health and wellbeing, help our economy and address the biggest challenge of our time, the climate emergency. Against the backdrop of funding cuts to local government, we will keep investing in our communities so support goes where it is most needed."
