Beautiful Thanet: Looking forward to 2009/10

The Council recently refreshed its Corporate Plan. As part of this process a number of sub-themes were identified within each theme. The sub-themes for Beautiful Thanet are:

Local Environmental Quality:	Working with partners to maintain the appearance of streets and public areas across the district and improve public perception.
Quality Open Spaces:	Maintaining our beaches, foreshore, parks and other open spaces to a high standard, whilst encouraging local people to take an active role in preserving the natural environment.
Waste Reduction:	Reducing the amount of waste produced and ensuring that high proportions are reused or recycled.

For details of the new projects identified through the refresh please look at the Corporate Plan. The following table provides an update for the top 5 indicators identified against this theme through the refresh:
