Councils Corporate Priorities 2025 - 2028

Wells City Council wishes to consult its constituents regarding its draft corporate priority document for the period 2025 - 2028.

The purpose of having a suite of priorities, is to allow the Council to plan and deliver work accordingly to the community aspirations and requirements. The draft priorities have been developed through the Council’s knowledge and understanding of the community, and to meet its own business needs.

Within this survey, Wells City Council looks to seek views on in its draft document before looking to adopt it later this year.

The draft document can be found at www.wells.gov.uk and it is recommended that this is read in conjunction with this survey.
1.Are you a resident/business of the city or a visitor?
2.Before today, were you aware of Wells City Councils plans for the next 4 years?
3.Do you feel that the proposed priorities reflect the needs of Wells and its residents and businesses?
4.Do you feel that the proposed priorities reflect the needs of visitors to the City?
5.How important do you think it is for the Council to strengthen its governance and financial planning?
6.The Council plans to focus on sustainability of its own buildings and land that it either owns or is directly responsible for, which includes Wells Recreation Ground and other green spaces across the City.
Do you support this localised approach to Climate Action?
7.What improvements would you like to see, in how the Council manages its assets and green spaces (e.g. public buildings, grass areas, play areas etc).

Please note that in some instances the Wells City Council may not own, or have the area devolved to them for management and therefore may be limited in what it can affect. Please consult the map displayed on the Councils website for clarity.
8.Are there any services you feel should be prioritised for protection?
9.How tolerant would you be of further Council Tax Precept increases in order to sustain or improve essential services?
10.Would you support the Council in generating income through better use of its assets if it helps maintain services and the public estate?
11.Would you support the Council in garnering sponsorship for services or assets if it aids in maintaining services and reducing the impact on Council Tax?
12.What role should the council play in supporting tourism within the city?
13.How can we make sure tourism benefits the city without negatively impacting residents?
14.Which of the noted draft priorities is most important to you personally?
15.Is there anything missing from the Council's plan that you think should be included?
