The Local Service Board has done some work to anticipate what the future of the County might look like in 2019, and how it might influence it.  This includes considering things like:

• Environmental changes e.g. climate change
• Economic changes e.g. rising food costs
• Social changes e.g. demographic profile
• Collective impacts e.g. widening poverty gap

The LSB is working out the potential impact they could have on Monmouthshire and its people if we do not act now to mitigate some of the effects.

A stakeholder conference has been held to explore some of the things that need to be done and this information will be used to inform our community strategy.
