Council Plan 2022-2025

Our new Council Plan has been published, which sets out our priorities and outcomes for the future.

We are "Ambitious for Derby - Working together with the city, for the city"

We’re committed to improving the city and the life experiences of our citizens. In partnership, we are working together to improve outcomes, with the city, for the city, across four key themes:

• Green city - protecting and enhancing our environment 
• Vibrant city - reimagining our city with culture at its heart 
• City of growth - creating a modern smart city with jobs and skills for the future 
• Resilient city - working with our communities to improve health, wealth, and opportunities.

As a Council we are also seeking to be as efficient and effective as we can, working smarter, to deliver value for money for our citizens and stakeholders. We’re also changing the way we work with partners and communities through a ‘better together’ approach.

As the Council's highest strategic planning document, the vision, themes, outcomes and values of the Council Plan inform all our priorities for action, and the decisions that we take about how to use our resources.

The Council Plan sits alongside our Medium-Term Financial Strategy, setting out how we are going to use our resources to achieve outcomes for the city. Our Strategic Risk Register sets out the threats that we have identified that could stop us from achieving our goals if not mitigated, alongside any opportunities that we may seek to take.

We will monitor progress against priorities and must do’s at least every three months, through performance reports presented to Council Cabinet. An Annual Report will be published once a year, summarising our financial and performance highlights.

The Council Delivery Plan 2022-23‌ sets out what actions we will take to deliver our commitments set out within the Council Plan 2022-2025 over the next 12-months.

Cabinet approved the Plan in July 2022. It will be reviewed at least every three months to monitor progress and to identify any changes that need to be made to the actions within the plan. We will report back to Cabinet regularly.
