Future Demand and Flexibility for Community Infrastructure
As the Borough's population grows and ages, there will be increased demand for new, expanded or enhanced community facilities. The Council must remain flexible to adapt to changes in public policy and service provision models such as co-location of facilities.
As the population of our Borough grows, additional pressure will be placed on existing community infrastructure and there is likely to be a need for the provision of new, expanded or enhanced facilities. With an ageing population and changing lifestyles, the Council will also need to be sufficiently flexible to respond and adapt to changes in public policy regarding service provision, such as the co-location of community infrastructure.
