LEADERS at Warwickshire County Council say their ‘bold’ new plan will focus on residents’ priorities – although the specifics of how this will be achieved remain under wraps for now.
The plan, called Recalibrating Warwickshire, states a mission to ‘improve the quality of services and deliver value for money, ensure a smooth transition to new local government structures, and create opportunities for everyone’.
But the Reform UK-led council has not yet revealed the specific actions it will take to achieve these objectives.
A WCC spokesperson said: “The plan sets out how the council will achieve its ambition to deliver real improvement for the people of Warwickshire, making sure that Warwickshire is a place to live where business can flourish, families can thrive and where children have the best chance in life.”
WCC’s customer spokesperson Coun Mike Bannister added: “Set against a backdrop of change and financial challenge, the priorities set out in the plan focus on those things which matter most to residents and will deliver better value for money in achieving our ambitions for everyone in the county.
“The emphasis is on practical delivery, value for money, accountability, front line services and the everyday issues residents raise with us most often.”
WCC leader Coun George Finch added: “Recalibrating Warwickshire is a plan that focuses on clear, common-sense outcomes. We will talk openly and proudly about personal responsibility – how we can all work together to make sure the people of Warwickshire get a better deal and a brighter future.”
The specific actions the council will take to achieve the plan’s objectives will be set out in the Council Delivery Plan, due to be considered by Cabinet in June.
