Our five priorities for Staffordshire

Our plan is built around five priorities that reflect what matters most to residents, communities and the local economy:

  1. People - Supporting children, families, older people and vulnerable adults to live healthy, safe and independent lives.
  2. Economy - Creating the conditions for local businesses to thrive and helping people develop the skills they need for good jobs.
  3. Connectivity - Improving our roads, transport links and digital infrastructure so people and businesses can stay connected.
  4. Communities - Building strong, safe, resilient and welcoming communities where people feel proud to live and can shape local decisions.
  5. Efficiency and value for money - Making every pound count, delivering services responsibly, and planning for the long term.
