The One Coventry Plan

Vision

One Coventry - working together to improve our city and the lives of those who live, work and study here.

We will create:

• a city with a strong and resilient economy, where inclusive growth is promoted and delivered, businesses are enabled to innovate and grow and new local jobs are created.
• a city where our residents get the best possible start in life, experience good health and age well, in a city that embraces diversity, protects the most vulnerable and values its residents and communities.
• a city, that leads the way and invests in the green industrial revolution. Ensuring the future well-being of our residents by embedding environmentally friendly behaviours and exploring opportunities to lessen the pressures caused by climate change.

We will do this by being:

• a council with a strong and sustainable financial position, with resources and assets that are aligned with our priorities
• a council that plays a key role as a civic leader, working in genuine partnership with local residents, communities and partners.

Approach

One Coventry describes how we work and collaborate with our partners and our communities to ensure that our residents get the very best that the city can offer and the approach that we will take as individuals, teams and services across the Council.

It includes the Council’s priorities and enablers, our values, new ways of working, and core areas of focus to deliver the One Coventry Council Plan objectives, key strategies, and approaches. It focuses on enabling people to live their best lives in a vibrant and prosperous city. This 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.

This Plan sets out how we will deliver these priorities and outlines our key enablers, our measures of success and the role that residents and partners will have in delivery.

Priorities

Building on key Council and partnership strategies, our One Coventry Plan sets out three interconnected priorities:

• Increasing the economic prosperity of the city and region
• Improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities
• Tackling the causes and consequences of climate change

Enablers

Underpinning and essential to the delivery of our priorities are two key enablers:

• Continued financial sustainability of the Council
• Council’s role as a partner, enabler and leader
