Strategic Plan 2024-32 Project Updates
Our Strategic Plan outlines the Council’s vision and priorities for making Tunbridge Wells an even better place to live, work and play.
It sets out what we aim to achieve and how we’ll work with communities to deliver real improvements across the borough. At the heart of the plan are four key priorities:
Community Wellbeing
Sustainable Development
Climate Action
Vibrant Economy
Together, these priorities guide everything we do to ensure Tunbridge Wells remains a great place for everyone.
