How was Horizon 2050 developed
Through an extensive programme of around 20 events, workshops and interviews involving nearly 1,500 residents, local leaders and business owners in 1,400 hours' worth of conversations, we have gained an understanding of, and agreement on, what the community wants from the future.
A public consultation was held during the summer of 2018, and a telephone sample survey was carried out. All views provided informed the development of the vision, which was adopted by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council in February 2019 and Basingstoke Area Strategic Partnership in March 2019.
The vision has been endorsed by local businesses and organisations:
- Anvil Arts
- Ayre Chamberlain and Gaunt
- Basingstoke College of Technology
- Basingstoke Consortium
- Basingstoke Voluntary Action
- Destination Basingstoke
- EBP South
- Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service - North Hampshire Group
- Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Land and Property Group
- Queen Mary’s College
- The University of Winchester
The vision has been broken down into themes that are equally important and there are overlaps between them:
- homes and housing
- healthy, safe and inclusive communities
- natural environment
- sustainability
- transport
- education
- economy and entrepreneurship
- a borough with heritage and distinction
