BOLD AMBITIONS FOR THRIVING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES

We will generate opportunities for all local communities to prosper by promoting wellbeing, active lifestyles, learning and reducing inequalities.

We will create safe, clean, vibrant, healthy and pleasurable places to live, work and play, bringing life to Chester’s streets, green parks and outdoor spaces.

We will ensure residential offers encourage a diverse range of residents and ensure people are connected to quality services and infrastructure including digital connectivity.

We will identify the needs of each neighbourhood to ensure health and wellbeing is supported alongside access to quality education for all.

We will deliver a housing strategy which tackles the homelessness crisis, providing supported housing schemes and pathways out of homelessness that are reflective of the needs of homeless people, and which seeks to end rough-sleeping on Chester’s streets.

We will develop a specific housing offer that enables and attracts key workers to remain in the city.

We will create safer neighbourhoods for all our residents, improving access to green spaces and the ability to live in a lower impact, more sustainable world. We will develop a specific housing offer that enables and attracts key workers to remain in the city.

If you want young people to stay in Chester when they grow up, you should listen to what they want… I don’t think people will stay if the city doesn’t reach their needs.
