The framework below sets out what the Council wants to achieve within each of the three strategic priorities. 

This will inform and shape how: 

• Service areas develop, review, and update their service area action plans. 
• External funding bids will be targeted. 
• Suitable projects will be identified for consideration. 
• Our communication priorities will be set. 
• The strategy informs the performance framework that explains how the priorities, values and vision are aligned and woven into the fabric of the Council. 

Strategic priorities:

• Priority 1: Delivering valued, sustainable services
• Priority 2: Low cost, low carbon energy across the district
• Priority 3: Creating vibrant, safe and healthy communities of the future
