This Council Plan is still in draft and has not yet been officially approved. Following further feedback and changes, the final version of the Council Plan will be adopted and published here in December.

Our values as an organisation frame how we will deliver Council Plan priorities. We believe values are key to creating a fairer, more prosperous and more sustainable place for all communities. They inform the way we work and underpin relationships with partners, customers and communities. 

Our values

How we develop our workforce will be key to realising our ambitions, and we need to ensure that our values reflect in the way that we work and also how we engage with partners and residents.
