Pursuing Excellence: Our Council Plan 2025-29 sets out the council’s vision and priorities for the next four years, where its resources will be prioritised, and how it will deliver against the long-term We Are Walsall 2040 vision for the borough.
“ This plan highlights our ambition and pride in our borough. It focuses on how Walsall Council will contribute to achieving the 2040 ambitions over the next five years, from delivering a £1.5 billion regeneration programme, working with partners to make safer streets, ensuring our towns and villages remain clean and green, and giving our young people the best start in life.
We will continue to build on our strong foundations to ensure our vision for tomorrow become the reality of today. Through this new Council Plan, we will keep striving for excellence in our services and ensuring that everyone living and working in Walsall is able to reach their full potential. “
The Council Plan 2025-29 adopts the We Are Walsall 2040 ambitions as the overarching framework for its council priorities as well as a fifth internally focused ambition. They include:
- Thriving and happy.
- Healthy and well.
- Prosperous and innovative.
- Proud of our borough.
- Continuously improving.
It is underpinned by five underlying principles which apply to everything the council does as an organisation to enable it to deliver all its priorities more effectively:
- Focusing on prevention.
- Ensuring equity.
- Working in partnership.
- Being insight-led.
- Acting sustainably.
Every council has a statutory requirement to produce a Council Plan, which sets out its vision, areas of focus, and the prioritisation of resources for the next four years.
The new Council Plan has been in development throughout 2024 with extensive engagement and a period of public consultation. Feedback has been incorporated to help shape the new plan.
