Council Plan 2012-15

The three year plan Council Commitment to Local Communities 2012-15 sets out the Council’s vision and priorities to help shape future service provision and decision making.

The plan is structured around the following five priorities which express the outcomes the Council is seeking to achieve to make life better for people:

Reducing Poverty: Poverty reduced by narrowing inequality between places and supporting vulnerable groups

Economic Development: A strong, sustainable and vibrant local economy

Town Centres: Thriving town centres that are attractive and welcoming

Sports, Arts and Leisure: Everyone has the opportunity to access affordable sports, arts and leisure activities to improve quality of life

Performance: High performing services that meet community needs and deliver value for money

The plan also sets out key projects that the Council will focus on during 2012/13 to help achieve the outcomes above

Organisational Improvement Plan 2011-14

The context for improvement activities for the Council was previously set within a national performance framework and an Audit Commission inspection and assessment programme.

The removal of the national/externally set improvement and performance framework now provides a much greater opportunity for self determination, with local decisions around the Council’s own definition of improvement, what lies at the heart of improvement, how improvement is measured and how to develop the culture of improvement. The Organisational Improvement Plan will make explicit the areas on which the Council - staff and members - need to focus to be able to deliver the strategic objectives of the Council Plan 2011-2015.
