Worcestershire Fit for the Future - Corporate Plan 2011-2016

"I believe that Worcestershire's residents are expecting something different from this council.

The impact of the economic recession on Worcestershire, the cost pressures associated with an ageing population and national government's response to reducing public sector borrowing have provided the impetus for us to set out a new vision and strategic direction for the council in the years ahead. 

 I have developed the new Corporate Plan to reflect this need for change.  It was adopted by Council in June 2011.

A Prosperous Worcestershire is the vision of the new plan and falling under this overarching aim are four key "areas of focus" which I believe will deliver our vision.

• Open for Business
• Children and Families
• The Environment
• Health & Wellbeing

The plan outlines a new and exciting direction for us all and I look forward to working with you to shape the county's future within which we all work and many of us also live.  It sets out the issues in our key areas of focus and what we are setting out to achieve, which involves a change in direction and significant improvement in the case of 'Open for Business' and 'Children and Families', to lever maximum advantage from 'The Environment' and to ensure we make a success of our new responsibility for 'Health and Well Being'.

I would encourage you all to read the plan, which has been kept short of word count and rich in depth of meaning and most importantly engage in it by bringing it to life in your professional capacity.

As part of my ongoing commitment to listening I would welcome any feedback."
