Our priority outcome areas
This Council Plan will help to set our priorities and inform our future budget and medium-term financial strategies. We have placed a fair, inclusive and sustainable recovery at the heart of this.
In terms of future activity each of our priority areas are divided into two sections:
- Living with COVID-19 – how we help our residents, businesses and places overcome the ongoing challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic.
- Building a Better Future – how we work to secure a better long-term future for the district, its people, its communities and its businesses.
