Council plan
Our previous Council Plan was the vision we had and set in place in 2023 for the way the district would change and develop in the four years of this council.
However, the way Lancashire councils operate will be radically changed by Local Government Reorganisation and a new type of council will be in place in 2028.
So, we need a new and revised plan of how this council, for its last two years, will work with residents and partners:
- Clearly expressing our principles and culture
- Committing ourselves to our delivery plan with clear priorities
- Providing a handover document to influence the direction of the future authority
Developing the new Council Plan has given us the opportunity to state our ambitions in simple terms. The plan is our promise as a council to focus on achieving important and challenging outcomes for residents in the next two years.
We have also looked back on the last three years to reflect on achievements so far, of which there are many.
Our four principles which make up the vision for our district were developed in 2020 and remain unchanged. We are proud to work to create:
- A Sustainable District
- An Inclusive and Prosperous Local Economy
- Healthy and Happy Communities
- A Co-operative, Kind and Responsible Council
We look forward to delivering the ambitions of this plan and continuing to deliver effective services for our communities.
