People & Performance: Corporate Plan 2007 - 2011

The Corporate Plan sets out the Council's ambition for the four years from 2007 to 2011.  It sets out our Key Priorities and, together with its family of supporting documents, shows how we will resource them and how we will manage the organisation to secure their achievement whilst maintaining continuous improvements in service levels and ensuring value for money.
It also shows how we will support the Borough's Community Strategy and respond appropriately to national and regional priorities.

Ambition

Our ambition is "to maintain and develop those distinctive characteristics that make living and working in Epsom & Ewell a matter of conscious choice and, in conjunction with others, provide quality and innovative services that are based on the identified priorities of our residents"

Key Priorities

To realise that ambition, the Council provides a wide range of services and undertakes a much broader role as a voice for the community.  All of those services are important to local residents and therefore to us, but the Key Priorities we have outlined below are the areas where we intend to focus resources to secure change.

• Cost effective recycling 
• Enhancing the visual appearance of the local environment 
• Tackling antisocial behaviour 
• Promoting sustainability and tackling issues of climate change
• Championing health services improvements
• Enhancing services for young people.

In addition, the Council will continue its commitment to securing additional affordable housing.

People & Performance

'People and Performance' are at the heart of the Corporate Plan and everything that the Council does.  They are represented throughout our core values.  These values underpin everything we do.  We actively incorporate them into every aspect of our work.
