Council Plan 2025-2028

Our new Council Plan has been published, which sets out our priorities and outcomes for the future.

This plan builds on the foundations that have been laid in recent years, and refreshes our mission statement and priorities, to reflect the latest needs and ambitions for Derby.

The Council cannot achieve our aspirations for the city without the vital support of its communities and partners. This Council Plan outlines the role that everyone can play in fulfilling our huge ambitions - together we’re building a Derby to be proud of.

Our themes are:

Inclusive City - putting people at the heart of everything we do
Green City - promoting a sustainable Derby for future generations
City of Growth - creating a modern city, with jobs, skills and homes for the future
Vibrant City - reimagining our city with culture and diversity at its heart
Connected Council - collaborating to deliver efficient, integrated and accessible services

As the Council's highest strategic planning document, the mission statement, themes, outcomes and values of the Council Plan inform all our priorities for action and the decisions that we take about how to use our resources.

The Council Plan sits alongside our Medium-Term Financial Strategy, setting out how we are going to use our resources to achieve outcomes for the city. Our Strategic Risk Register sets out the threats that we have identified that could stop us from achieving our goals if not mitigated, alongside any opportunities that we may seek to take.

We will monitor progress against priorities and must do’s at least every three months, through performance reports presented to Council Cabinet. An Annual Report will be published once a year, summarising our financial and performance highlights.

For further information please contact the Strategy and Performance team.
