Council Plan

Our council plan supports the council's vision: to improve life for local people.

A set of nine strategic goals have been drawn up to reflect issues of importance to local people in their daily lives and which are directly linked to portfolio responsibilities. These goals are to:

Provide direction and leadership, and manage and improve the council's resources, in order to ensure high quality and value for money services.
Create an environment where all children can be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic wellbeing.
Improve the health, wellbeing and choices of older people and vulnerable adults, and support them to live independently.
Create well connected communities with transport services.
Make places where people want to live and work now and in the future.
Strengthen the local economy and tackle deprivation within the county.
Promote safer communities and protect local people.
Improve access and encourage participation in leisure, recreation, information, lifelong learning and culture.
Promote Derbyshire in order to increase confidence, investment and resources.

Under each of the goals our priorities for improvement have been identified along with measures of success.

The council plan was revised for 2008-09 to take into account changes to the national performance framework for local government and to reflect changes in the portfolio responsibilities of the Cabinet Members.
