Andover Vision
Andover Vision is a project that is all about Andover and its community. Local people along with community groups and key organisations have re-launched the initiative to create a long term vision for the town. Andover Vision began back in 2005 and brought a number of projects to the town, including a cinema and the lights theatre to name a few. As the previous Vision succeeded in its aims, a renewed Vision for Andover is underway. Community groups and local people across Andover have been expressing their hopes and dreams for the town. The aim of the project is to develop with the community and local people, an Andover Vision action plan that will harness the ambitions for the town over the next 20 years. The process so far has begun to foster partnerships between local organisations, and it’s the projects ambition to keep partnership working at the heart of delivering on shared ambitions for Andover.
