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.
