What is the Council Plan?
Dudley Council is constantly striving to improve the way that we deliver our services to meet the needs of local people, and to ensure we can measure and demonstrate our achievements. The Council Plan 2025-2026 sets out Dudley's strategic direction for the year.
Building on progress made during the 2024-2025 council plan in relation to finances, governance, leadership and culture, the 2025-2026 plan is based on the themes of the national best value framework. Within each theme are two priorities that the council will focus on during the year. These themes are also used by the Dudley Council Improvement Plan which focuses on how the council operates, conducts itself and holds itself to account to effect positive change in the delivery of services to our communities.
The themes are:
- Leadership
- Governance
- Culture
- Use of resources
- Service delivery
- Partnerships and community engagement
- Continuous improvement
