Walsall Council is set to present its new Council Plan for 2025-29 to members at a public meeting on Monday 13 January 2025.
The plan will outline the council’s vision and priorities for the next four years, with a focus on improving services, addressing rising demand, and tackling financial challenges.
The plan is structured around the broader We Are Walsall 2040 vision, which encompasses five core ambitions: Thriving and Happy, Healthy and Well, Prosperous and Innovative, Proud of Our Borough, and Continuously Improving. These priorities will guide the council’s decisions and actions over the coming years.
The Council Plan is also supported by five key principles that underpin all council activities. These include focusing on prevention, ensuring equity, working in partnership with others, being insight-led, and acting sustainably. These principles aim to ensure that the council’s resources are used effectively and responsibly, delivering tangible benefits for the community.
The development of the new Council Plan has involved extensive consultation with the public and key stakeholders. Feedback gathered from residents has been considered and incorporated into the plan, ensuring that the priorities align with the needs and concerns of the local community. As a statutory requirement, the Council Plan also sets out how resources will be allocated over the next four years to meet these priorities.
The Full Council meeting to discuss and potentially approve the plan will begin at 6pm on Monday 13 January 2025. As this is a public meeting, local residents are encouraged to attend and learn more about the council’s plans for the future.
