The council plan sets out our plans for achieving the best for our residents and their communities.

It has reducing inequality, addressing the climate emergency and delivering value for money at its heart, recognising that these are our biggest challenges.

It is based around these 4 key priorities:

  • creating the best start in life for our children and young people
  • identifying and supporting those most in need and helping people to help themselves
  • promoting sustainable inclusive communities, infrastructure and growth
  • realising the full potential of our people and delivering value for money

Our priorities are brought to life through a package of 20 commitments, each with a dedicated action plan so we can track progress. The action plans and progress reports are available on our website ensuring that we are transparent and accountable.
