Our vision

People of all ages and from all walks of life will feel they belong to Derby and that Derby offers them everything they need - for work, education, housing, leisure and a safe, healthy lifestyle.

Building on the present

Derby is a compact city with a good quality of life. People from all backgrounds get on well together. Jobs are in good supply, there is a good range of affordable housing and excellent access to open space and the countryside.

Valuing the past

World Heritage Status recognises Derby’s history of creativity and technological innovation. Our landmark buildings provide a strong heritage backdrop in the city centre.

Derby City Partnership

Over the past eleven years, Derby City Partnership has achieved a lot to improve our city, but we still have many challenges ahead.
That is why we take time to review our priorities and re-focus our efforts to improve the quality of life of the city and to put Derby on the map.

To achieve our 2020 Vision, we have to make sure that all of our work along the way is contributing to it. We aim to make progress by focusing on a wide range of activities. But we have also identified two key priorities for the next three years where all organisations in the partnership will work together to make progress.
