Overview
What is One Coventry?
One Coventry is a values-based approach that describes how we work together with our communities and partners to improve the city and the lives of all who live, work and study here. It is a way of working that enables us to focus on the things that people value most, helping us to make the biggest possible impact on the lives of local people.
Our One Coventry approach focuses on enabling people to live their best lives in a vibrant and prosperous city, an ambition that can only be achieved by listening to and collaborating with, those who live, work, visit, and do business in our city, by having different conversations and building on the great things that are already happening.
What is the One Coventry Plan?
Coventry City Council’s corporate plan, The One Coventry Plan 2022 to 2030, was informed by Coventry residents and outlines the vision and priorities for the next 8 years. The plan describes the way that we bring people and organisations from across the city together, to work as one; to make the biggest positive difference to the lives of those who live work and study here.
The One Coventry Plan sets out the strategic vision for the city of Coventry to 2030 and our approach to increasing the economic prosperity of both the city and region by improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities; and tackling the causes and consequences of climate change. These are things that the Council cannot do alone.
We must continue to work in a way that ensures we maintain continued financial sustainability of the Council, as well as strengthening the Council’s role as a partner, enabler, leader and as an anchor organisation in Coventry. Our refreshed plan is more focused on the needs and aspirations of our communities than ever before. We have listened to and reflected on what people have been telling us and considered the key issues facing the city.
Our plan focuses on 3 key delivery priorities measured against 88 Key Indicators:
- increasing economic prosperity
- improving outcomes and tackling inequalities, and
- tackling climate change – supported by an enabling priority of maintaining a financially sustainable council.
Achieving these goals means working beyond what the Council can do alone: partnering as a city leader, enabler, and anchor institution to mobilize everyone’s efforts. Our plan is community-focused and reflects what people told us about Coventry’s needs and aspirations.
