The Corporate Plan is a key strategic document for SBC, which sets out our vision for the council and what we hope to deliver in the borough. It is not intended to cover everything the council does but sets out the council’s aspirations and goals that will be delivered alongside our day-to-day activities.
The plan has three core elements, our:
- Purpose: our key mission statement and driving focus for the council
- Approach: the type of council we wish to be, our values, how we will work and our relationship with residents and partners
- Priorities: the key challenges we will look to address over the next four years
Our Purpose
Closing the healthy life expectancy gap, by focusing on children.
Our Approach
- Resident focussed - We will serve the people of Slough first and foremost: responding to their concerns, ensuring their views are heard and delivering on the issues that matter most to them.
- Providing financial sustainability - We will build on our work to provide financial sustainability for the council and embed good practice for local government: living within our means, balancing our budget and being honest and open about the difficult decisions that we will need to make over the coming years.
- Enabling residents and communities - We will focus on enabling residents to live well independently: building community capacity and resilience, fostering self-sufficiency and creating platforms that allow our community to shape Slough’s future.
- Strengthening partnerships - We will strengthen relationships with partners, the community and our young people through collaboration and co-operation: developing a united way of working, toward a shared vision for our town and its residents.
- Building trust - We will work to restore trust and confidence in SBC: ensuring that we are reliable, responsive and open, as we continue to recover and improve.
Our Priorities
- A borough for children and young people to thrive
- A town where residents can live healthier, safer and more independent lives
- A cleaner, healthier and more prosperous Slough
Slough Insights
In order to create the Corporate Plan, the council drew together new information from the 2021 Census and other key sources of information to better understand the needs of our residents. These have been distilled into a Slough Insights pack - which provides us with evidence of the key opportunities and challenges facing Slough, and which is updated on a regular basis.
