Best Services to Customers
Best Value for Money
Best in Class Commissioning
Best Use of Resources
Best use of Assets
Best Use of Technology
Best Talent and Opportunities
The Business Case sets out a programme of change estimated to achieve Council wide savings of more than £20million, which will be achieved over the next three years as the projects are delivered.
Glen Sanderson, council leader said: “As a council we are aware that our residents’ needs are changing, and we need to be mindful of that to meet demand, as well as consider current financial constraints.
“The Strategic Change programme sets out to redesign the way we as a council delivers local public services within the context of the ongoing challenges.

“If this is approved, it will give residents the opportunity to talk to us more easily about how we might do things differently or better.”
