In 2002/3 residents, businesses and people who used the area for work or leisure spent over six months developing what came to be known as the"Future Wolverton Vision".
This was a 20 year vision for the area and was an attempt to capture the hopes and aspirations of people at that time.
Significant progress has been made on achieving some of the ideas in the Future Wolverton Vision - click here to see what has been happening.
Many of these things have happened because of the time and energy of individual residents, groups or organisations based in our area, supported by the Council and other agencies.
They have also happened because the Future Wolverton Vision provided a focus for activity which gave external agencies and government confidence to work with local people on an agreed plan of action.
But the world (and Wolverton!) is a very different place in 2010 than it was back in 2003.
We have new challenges - including the recession and impact of climate change - which are affecting our everyday lives and which will have an impact on what we need and want from the place that we have chosen to live, work or study in.
We need to "refresh" this original Vision - to check if the aspirations of the "noughties" are still relevant to the lives we are living and want to live in 2010 and beyond.
So we need to re-look at the Future Wolverton Vision(click here to see a full copy of the Vision developed in 2002/3) and find out if it still makes sense to you as a resident, business or organisation based in our area
Were you living here back in 2002/3 and took part in putting the original Vision together?
Have you moved to Wolverton or Greenleys in the last few years, and so weren’t part of the development of the original vision?
Do you live in one of the new developments that have been built since 2003 - Wolverton Mill, the McCorquodale site or Wolverton Park?
Whatever your situation, please read the Future Wolverton Vision and have a think!
Does it capture your aspirations for the future of our place?
Do you agree with the some of the specific ideas it contains?
Does any part of it excite you or turn you off? Would you want to live in the sort of place it describes?
