Strategic Plan 2013 - 2018

Your family, our community and a prosperous Staffordshire

The county council's new Strategic Plan sets out our values and priorities for the years ahead, what we want to achieve and how we intend to do so over the next 5 years (2013 - 2018).

It shows how Staffordshire County Council is working for your family, our community and a prosperous Staffordshire.

We have nine priorities at the heart of what we do, and the Strategic Plan outlines how we aim to achieve them:

Staffordshire's children and young people can get the best start in life and receive a good education so that they can make a positive contribution to their communities.
Staffordshire is a place where people live longer, healthier and fulfilling lives.
Staffordshire is a place where people can easily and safely access everyday facilities and activities through the highways and transport networks.
