Council Plan 2023 to 2026

The Council Plan sets out our vision and hopes for the Borough looking forward to 2025 and it explains the priorities we will be working on in the coming year to bring the vision to life. This plan is again developed in a difficult financial context, where our long-term funding from Government is not clear.

Who is the Council plan for?

The Council Plan is for everyone who lives and works in the Borough. The Council is here to serve and support you, and we take that responsibility very seriously. That's why we've created this Plan: to set out in one place what we aim to achieve and what we will be focussing on in the coming year

Who is involved in it?

We are an ambitious Council, we have big plans for the Borough, and we recognise that we can't achieve them on our own. So, whilst this Council Plan focuses on what we plan to do as a Council, we also have a number of partnership plans that set out the exciting work we're doing with our partners, to bring the vision to life.

Find out more by reading the following strategy documents on the Our Plans page:

• the Community Safety Strategy
• the Health and Wellbeing Strategy
• the Inclusive Growth Strategy
• the Children's and Young People's Strategy
• the Adult Social Care Strategy
• the Communities Strategy
• the Environmental Sustainability and Carbon Reduction Strategy
• the Fairer Stockton-on-Tees Framework

We have an instinct to collaborate and we work hard to be an effective partner. You can be sure that we are co-ordinating and driving all the benefits from these closely related plans to make sure that they deliver the greatest possible benefit to the Borough.
