8. A Well-Run Council
We will operate a well-run council, delivering efficient and effective, value for money public services that meet the needs of residents, business, visitors and other stakeholders.
Intended Outcomes
- A balanced budget achieved by focusing on priorities, efficient delivery of services and sustainable income generation.

- Staff and members who feel valued, supported and equipped to achieve the best they can for residents and stakeholders.
- Open and transparent decision-making.
To achieve this, we will work within our Code of Corporate Governance, to ensure good practice in financial services, governance and staff and Members health and wellbeing.
We will actively communicate and engage with residents and communities and seek their views on projects and initiatives in line with our Consultation Charter.
Equality and diversity will be a priority to ensure we meet our legal duties and promote inclusion in all that we do.
