I do not believe it is within the Council's power to make people safer, except in relation to road transport and health which is already covered in the vision statement. Similarly prosperity depends on national government and worldwide circumstances (outside of Council control) and the likelihood is that people will become less prosperous over the coming years due to these factors. I have therefore deleted the words safer and prosperous from the vision statement, but have added "fulfilled" since by increasing the local cultural opportunities, Solihull people can become fulfilled which can be more important than prosperity alone.
In Para 67, the proposed vision is one
"Where everyone has an equal chance to be healthier, happier, safer and prosperous".
I suggest the following amended vision:
"Where everyone has an equal chance to be healthier, happier, and fulfilled".
