Council Plan

Our Council Plan supports our vision of improving life for local people and highlights our priorities for future working.


We are pleased to introduce our new Council Plan which sets out our key priorities for 2010-2014.

We are a new council with new plans and a new approach. 

Our Council Plan "Derbyshire − Leading the way" is proof of that - setting out what we intend to do over the next four years.

We have listened to what local people say is important to them.  We will build on the best of what's been done in the past. There will be changes − not for change's sake but so we can be even more efficient and effective.

It means we will work hard to address the five main priorities we have identified to help us achieve our ambitions.

The next four years will not be easy. We face big challenges − cuts in public spending and higher demands for our services. However, we also see opportunities. We need to change the way we deliver some services, cut out more red tape and give you better choice and control.

Councillor Andrew Lewer, Leader of the Council and Nick Hodgson, Chief Executive.
