Strategic Plan 2026–2029

Our Vision

Marlow is a thriving, welcoming town where people can move around safely and easily, care for their environment, and come together to support and celebrate their community. The town values its rich history and is committed to building a future that works for everyone.

Our Mission

Marlow Town Council will work together with residents, businesses, visitors, and partner organisations to deliver meaningful improvements across four key areas: strengthening our community, protecting, and enhancing our environment, enabling safe and convenient travel, and managing public money wisely.

Our Strategic Themes

🌿 Care of Our Town We aim to make our town a clean, sustainable place, resilient to climate and environmental change. We will support the wellbeing and safety of residents.  🚌 Moving Around Marlow We aim for everyone to travel safely and conveniently around the local area, supporting an accessible town. We will support reliable public transport services, walking and cycling as realistic, healthy, and viable alternatives to driving short journeys.
🤝 A Connected Community We aim to create an inclusive and connected community in Marlow, where people of all ages and backgrounds feel involved, supported and inspired to contribute. We will organise and support events, work with our local community organisations and identifyother opportunities to create community connections.🏛️ Optimising Assets & Investments We will responsibly manage our financial and non-financial assets, assessing risks and opportunities involved. We aim to generate greater community value and benefit for residents by unlocking value from the council’s assets, including land, property, and investments.
