work with communities to manage the impact of serious and organised crime
progress delivery of our exciting plans for regeneration
encourage inward investment from companies that have good and fair operating principles
support our residents to access secure and sustainable employment
continue to deliver a balanced budget while improving outcomes for communities
What our communities can do
There are lots of things our communities can do to support this, including:
support local businesses and shop close to home, helping local companies to succeed
boost your skills by taking a course with any of the great providers in the Borough
share your ideas for doing things differently in your area
A picture of success
Success looks like:
our residents feeling like they belong to their community, living for longer and in good health
more children having a good level of development and being ready for school when they reach reception age. More will achieve outstanding educational attainment and remain in education, employment or training at age 16, building a bright future in our Borough
reduced crime rates and residents feeling safer at all times
more residents feeling happy in their employment and accommodation
increased employment rates and gross value added (GVA)
doing more with our partners and communities, recognising the part we all have to play in the future of our Borough
