Vision for the borough and our priorities
The council has worked with its partners in the Walsall Partnership, and with the community at large, to develop a Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) which includes clear targeted plans. The SCS informs, and sits at the heart of the plans of the individual partners, including the council. The council is committed to the SCS, and to the delivery of our own contribution to the implementation of the strategy, and the action plans, including the Local Area Agreement, which will make it happen.
At the centre of the council’s plans and strategies is the shared vision for the borough of Walsall, looking ahead to 2021. The SCS sets out the following:
“Walsall will be a great place to live, work and invest, where:
- people get on well with each other
- growing up is as good as it can be and young people fulfil their potential
- people are our strength and have the skills and attitude required by employers
- people consider the impact of what we do now on future generations
- people feel proud to live, having high quality distinctive design of buildings and spaces
- there is a wide range of facilities for people to use and enjoy
- everyone has the chance to live in a home fit for their purpose and for the future
- people can get around easily and safely
- there are more and better jobs for local people
- people support and look after each other
- people can live an independent and healthy life”
This is the council’s vision for the borough of Walsall, its communities, and its citizens, and is documented in the council’s corporate plan. The council’s priorities ensure that we focus our resources on the new vision, and deliver our contribution to the achievement of this.
