Our aims

In seeking to balance environmental, social and economic factors the Council is working towards six aims for its communities and three aims for the Council itself, each with a series of objectives.  The individual objectives need to be achieved if we are going to make progress and achieve the vision of the future.

The Community aims are:

• A clean, 'green' and attractive place
• Housing that meets local need
• Safe, vibrant and inclusive communities
• Healthy living
• Access to services and transport
• A strong, diverse economy

The Council aims are:

• To improve our systems and practices
• To learn and develop
• To maintain sound finances

Further information on the Council's vision and aims can be found in the corporate plan, 'Growing Success', which is available on the right.  The Council's Policy Framework is also linked on the right.
