The Council’s Vision is to:
“To create communities where people want to live and work now and in the future ”.
The Council has identified five Core Values, which guide the way the Council operates in the community and as an employer:
Accountability
We will be open and transparent, listening and communicating clearly and taking responsibility for our actions.
Respect
In working with each other, our partners, residents and service users, we will treat each other as we would like others to treat us, recognising and embracing differences and taking account of the full range of opinions.
Integrity
We will behave honestly, and demonstrate reliability by promising only what we can deliver and delivering what we promise.
Value for money
We will balance cost and quality to ensure all our resources make the maximum possible impact.
Excellence
Working with partners where appropriate, we will ensure services of the highest quality.
Equity
We will treat people fairly, valuing and responding to their diverse backgrounds and needs.
