Corporate Plan (pdf 240kb)|

 

Introduction

We are setting high standards to achieve the things the local community wants and deserves.

 
This is an ambitious plan for our future and the way services will be provided for our residents. It looks at how Councillors and our officers can meet the challenges it faces through the provision of in-house services, through projects and through partnership with other bodies including public bodies, voluntary organisations, businesses and our local community.

The plan is based on the needs of the borough, on what local people have told us they want during consultation which has taken place between 2001 and 2005, our statutory duties and what we need to do to address the findings of the Audit Commission’s Comprehensive Performance Assessment of the Council in 2004/05.

 
It is a forward looking plan in fulfilment of the our long term vision. It shows how we will achieve the following aims:-

• Create the best quality of life for local people.
• Keep the things that matter most to our residents as our priorities.
• Provide services that create high public satisfaction by ensuring they are efficient and offer value for money.
• Ensure we have the capacity to provide the services we undertake to provide for our residents.
