Councillor Tonia Craig
Health Portfolio Holder
Health and Wellbeing and Social Policy: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected
the health and wellbeing of residents in many ways. We have played a key role in the
response to the emergency to promote and protect health and wellbeing of residents.
The amazing response by volunteers and local organisations across the Borough has
demonstrated the strength of our communities and the benefits of working with others.
The crisis has also given us national evidence of unequal impacts and outcomes for
certain groups. Our recovery work will consider both physical and mental health needs
of residents and new ways we can work in partnership with other organisations to
promote health and wellbeing for all.

Housing & Development:
Planning & Property
Portfolio Holder
Housing: The Council continues to prioritise the delivery of new homes across the
Borough in sustainable locations to boost the supply of much needed new homes and
help tackle unmet housing needs. The Council has a strong record, easily meeting the
government’s Housing Delivery Test, and a strong prospect of achieving this for the
future, with a good supply of homes for the next six years. 2020-21 will see further
work to achieve adoption of the Borough’s Local Plan and progress on small and large
housing delivery sites, with infrastructure to go with them. We will continue to ensure
strong enforcement of planning conditions, so the right homes are delivered in the
right way.

Councillor Derek Pretty
Economy Portfolio Holder
Economy: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the economy, and
the Council supporting businesses to recover. Prior to the pandemic the local economy
was performing well with a regional GVA of 5.7%, and Eastleigh contributing the 5th
largest economy in the Solent LEP area. The Council has a good reputation with the
business community evidenced through our business engagement, regular conference
attendances of over 100 businesses and the launch of a new business advice service.
Recent engagement and support with COVID-19 grant funding is an opportunity to
build on this relationship. Unemployment, jobs and skills will be key challenges for
2020/21, as will the resilience of the Borough’s town and local centres.
To meet our corporate objective of creating a prosperous borough we will:
