Island Futures
A community strategy for the Isle of Wight...
We are all interested in the future of the Island. The Island Futures process gives you a chance to play a key role in drawing up a vision for the Island over the next decade through to 2012.
Island Futures (as our community strategy is called) will help the whole Island plan for the future. Key organisations, both public and private, will use the vision in their own work. It will also go to regional and national government to help them understand the real needs of the Island's population and what we want for the future.
As well as the general public, key bodies such as the council, the police, health organisations and business groups will contribute to the strategy.
A lot of you will remember Island Voices - Speak Out for the Future , when roadshows travelled around the Island finding out people's views about the Island and its future. Not only was this consultation vital to the success of the Island Agenda 21 Strategy but the views, opinions and work of the people involved, together with the results of other consultations and surveys, are now playing a major part in the development of Island Futures.
Why your views and involvement are important
In order to plan for the future, the council needs to know what you want, the issues you consider to be important and your priorities for the future. What will your priorities be in 2012, when you are a bit older and your circumstances may have changed?
On the list of pages on the left is one entitled "Questionnaire" which gives you a chance to have your say about the future. You might already have lots of ideas about what you want the future to hold for you and for your community, so please fill it out and e-mail it back to us. If you want to join in the process, but do not know where to start, you may find it helpful to read the other pages, which give information on some of the choices the Island will face in the next 10 years.
