Canvey Island is a beautiful, close knit and vibrant place. Its big skies, extraordinary architecture and symbiotic relationship with the Thames Estuary renders it unique and special.
The Canvey Island Neighbourhood Board is listening closely to local voices, and the following vision reflects the priorities and aspirations shared by residents, honouring what matters most to our community and the unique character of the island.
Safe
We believe that everyone has the right to feel safe. Our work will consider safety in all of its ramifications and guises and will foster dialogue and discussion to make sure we understand and respect each other. Safety includes ensuring all communities feel respected and represented, fostering trust and cohesion across Canvey’s growing diversity.
Vibrant
We know that to be a great place, our Island needs to be animated and vibrant. That means being well connected digitally and creatively and having great spaces and places to meet and interact.
Healthy
Our health is key to our happiness and wellbeing. That is the same for us all. Our plans will ensure that health is considered as a determining factor in the Island’s general wellbeing and ability to grow economically in a fair way. Fair access to healthcare will be a guiding light for us.
Proud
We are proud to be Canvey Island. We love our Island and are proud to be here. We will continue to champion the Island, its people and its beauty to the region and beyond.
World Class
Canvey Island deserves nothing less than the best. We are committed to this
and will reflect this in our work and will ensure that at every turn, we are doing our very best to enable Canvey Island and its people to reach their full world class potential.
