North Northamptonshire Council is working on its first ever Corporate Plan, which sets out the council’s vision, values, key commitments and priorities for the future.
The Corporate Plan also aims to provide clarity about what the council is about, where it wants to go, and when the draft plan is complete, it will provide an overview of the actions the council will take to help make its vision a reality.
Views are being sought on the draft Corporate Plan at this stage in its development. To help, a summary of the draft plan has been approved to help focus attention. It focuses on:
- NNC’s long-term vision for the area, which is: North Northamptonshire: A place where everyone has the best opportunities and quality of life.
- A set of seven values which explain how the council will provide services in the future.
- Six key commitments that aim to ensure the council takes a broad focus of what is important to the future of the area.
We identified our draft vision, values, and commitments from information that stakeholders told us about when preparations were being made for our new council in 2020.
Why your views matter
The council wants to know:
- If you think they have got the vision right
- If the values they have for the council are the right ones
- If the key commitments and priorities they are making are correct
- And, how you would want the council to stay connected with you in the future
People have until Sunday October 3rd to submit feedback on this consultation. It will then be analysed and considered and will help the council make a final decision on the Corporate Plan, which is due to be considered for adopting in December 2021.
The formal adoption of the Corporate Plan provides a clear basis on which the council can make subsequent policy decisions, develop other strategies and linked action plans.
