Find out about our Strategic Direction for 2026-2028.

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.
