  • drive efficiency and effectiveness across all our services
  • use our spending power, land and influence to deliver the best value for our communities

Our commitments

We commit to:

  • new ways of working that improve outcomes for residents and make our council more effective and efficient
  • improving our digital infrastructure so services are faster for residents and businesses
  • setting a balanced budget every year and delivering our commitments
  • making better use of the land and buildings we own - for services, income or new homes
  • improving commissioning, procurement and contract management so the money we spend has maximum benefit to residents and the local economy
