The current Council Plan was approved in March 2022.  It sets out 6 well-being and improvement priorities:

  • Developing and decarbonising our environment
  • Developing our economy
  • Ensuring everyone is safe
  • Ensuring a modern and resilient council
  • Improving secondary education
  • Promoting good health and well-being (with a focus on improving children’s services)

Each priority is supported by a Priority Board responsible for delivering the outcomes set out in the plan, and reporting on these to elected members and the public.

While working to deliver these improvement priorities, we will continue to work with local people to inform our next review of the plan – helping us understand how we can best work with local communities to support improved well-being within our budget.

Strategic planning principles

We have defined seven principles to help us plan and enable the most fair, effective and sustainable services that we can, within available resources. These principles are:

  • Prevention comes first 
  • Prioritise the most vulnerable 
  • Plan for the long term
  • Consult and involve local people
  • Integration between council departments
  • Collaboration with our partners 
  • Welsh Language and Culture (a cross-cutting theme across all priorities)

Our values

These values have been used to define the council’s way of working:

  • Trust
  • Respect
  • Innovation
  • Flexibility
  • Integrity
  • Commitment
