What is the Strategic Direction?
The Strategic Direction is one of the council’s most important documents. It sets out:
- What we want to achieve for Staffordshire and its residents
- The improvements we will focus on over the next two years
- How we will work with local people, partners and businesses
- How we will spend public money wisely
It provides a clear direction for everything we do - from caring for vulnerable residents to maintaining roads, supporting local businesses, protecting our countryside, and improving community life.
Strategic Priorities
1. People
Early help and prevention
Give people the right support, at the right time and in the right place so they can live healthier, happier, more independent lives.
