In delivering our vision and core missions, we will demonstrate a collective and consistent approach to the work that we do. We will ensure residents, partners and other key stakeholders are aware of how we conduct business and our ethical framework with which to deliver our vision.
To underpin this, we have developed a well-established set of values which sets out the behaviours and attitudes we expect from all council staff and elected members. We are proud to uphold these values across our organisation but we are committed to holding staff and councillors to account if these values are not upheld.
Our core values are:
- To put the customer at the centre of everything we do.
- To act as One Council
- To be business smart, act on evidence and take advantage of opportunities, thinking creatively and getting things done.
- To communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
- To have integrity in everything we do.
In order to deliver our vision and core missions, we will focus on three key themes of: Our People, Our Place and Our Council.
These are interdependent, allowing for alignment across the themes and ensuring no theme operates in isolation. Each theme contains a number of aims (the overall purpose), objectives (the steps we will take to deliver a desired outcome) and outcomes (the end result of an intervention).
Some outcomes will fit under more than one theme. Health and wellbeing activity, for example, will span both People and Place. In recognition of our commitment to carbon net zero, a ‘green thread’ runs through our objectives under each theme.
As new issues emerge and as new funding opportunities become available, new projects and programmes of work will emerge during the lifespan of the Corporate Plan. Whilst our vision for West Lindsey focuses primarily on the next four years, we are also looking ahead to the longer term, ensuring our vision remains fit for future generations.
