Our Vision of the Ideal Community:
The people of Monaghan live amongst friends. We have sufficient resources to meet our needs and have access to the services and facilities we need in order to enjoy a good standard of life. Everyone in the community is valued, and we look out for each other, especially our vulnerable members. We all pull together, with the aim of creating a better place for ourselves and the next generation.
The following values help us in attaining this vision:
- Everyone is welcome
- Everyone is entitled to be treated equally and with kindness
- Those who can, should help those who can’t
- Everyone has something to offer, and everyone should offer what they can
- Ní neart go cur le chéile (together we are stronger)
We will reach our vision by working to ensure:
- Local services and facilities are maintained and enhanced
- Our local heritage and culture are promoted and protected
- Nobody becomes isolated in our community, that our community connections are strong
- Everyone has access to employment which gives them purpose
- Innovation is nurtured
- Everyone feels that they belong, and that they have a part to play in our community
- Our physical environment is managed for the benefit of all, including wildlife and future generations
- Everyone has the opportunity to have a say in the decisions which affect their lives
