Eastbourne residents and businesses are being invited to have their say on a draft plan which sets out the council’s vision, direction and priorities for the next four years.

Eastbourne Borough Council has drafted a new Corporate Plan for 2024-2028 and would like people to express their views on the document by completing an online survey.

Both the document and survey can be accessed at www.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/EBCCorporatePlanConsultation

Councillor Stephen Holt, Leader of Eastbourne Borough Council, said: “I am incredibly proud of what the Council has achieved over the last few years in Eastbourne, navigating our way through the pandemic, handling the huge financial pressures it brought, helping people through the cost of living crisis and now dealing with a massive rise in homelessness.

Eastbourne residents and businesses are being invited to have their say on a draft plan which sets out the council’s vision, direction and priorities for the next four years.

“We have set out our priorities and ambitions for the next four years in our draft Corporate Plan and would really appreciate feedback and suggestions to make sure the document focuses on what matters most to local people.”

The draft plan emphasises the importance of:

Providing high quality, responsive services
