2:30pm Saturday 18th July 2009 in News
A BLUEPRINT for the future of Bolton has been published.
The Bolton Plan 2009-2012 outlines how the council plans to improve the borough.
Town hall chiefs have three main aims: securing economic prosperity, narrowing the gap between the most and least well-off, and transforming services to drive down costs and raise customer satisfaction.
The plan says that despite global economic difficulties in the short term, the long term picture for Bolton remains positive.
Cllr Cliff Morris, the leader of Bolton Council, said: “We have made some huge achievements in the past year.
“We have narrowed the gap in life expectancy within Bolton by almost two years; educational attainment is improving, particularly at GCSE level; and more people than ever are receiving care services that are tailored to their personal needs. We have managed to save £7.37 million by changing the way we do things.
“During the next three years, we will continue our ambitious change agenda to deliver significant savings while improving services.”
The Bolton Plan is available on the council’s website and can also be downloaded or viewed as a virtual booklet. To see it visit bolton.gov.uk/boltonplan
