Ensure that individuals and their communities are safe and secure, with reduced fear of crime and harm.
Improve health and wellbeing to help everyone live longer, safer, healthier lives; to ensure access to social care is fair and personalised, provided in the right place at the right time and with a focus on prevention as well as support; to ensure that people are better informed for making choices about lifestyle and the care they receive.
Build a clean, attractive and healthy environment for our people to live and work in with good quality housing and effective transport links, which meet the immediate and longer term needs of our rural and urban communities.
Make the best use of our resources to provide high quality services which deliver value for money and get things right first time.
The Council recognises the importance of valuing diversity and tackling discrimination when delivering our services and addressing our pledges.
As a council we have a responsibility to lead and contribute to the development and delivery of the priorities contained in ‘Making It Local’. ‘Making It Local’ sets out six themes covering the range of issues the Authority and its partners are seeking to address.
The themes are based upon the issues that local people tell us are most important to them. The Corporate Plan identifies some specific pledges which will contribute to these themes. These key pledges are directly drawn from a selection of areas for improvement within the Local Area Agreement.
