The Council Plan is our corporate strategy for the next 4 years.
It will:
- shape the way we work
- set our vision for the future of the city
- explain our focus areas
- help us support a good quality of life for residents
- set out how we propose to deliver improvements
- help us monitor delivery and measure performance
Consultation on The Council Plan
Our Council Plan for 2019 to 2023 was approved by Full Council on 31 October 2019 following public consultation.
Thank you to everyone who shared their views during our consultation, whether that was by completing our online survey or adding comments to our boards in various locations across York.
We asked you what you thought we could do as a council, and what you – as an individual, or representing a group or organisation – could do to help make York the best place it can be for everyone.
We also asked for your opinions on the 'outcomes' we're proposing, including:
- good health and wellbeing
- well paid jobs and an inclusive economy
- getting around sustainably
- a better start for children and young people
- a greener and cleaner city
- creating homes and world-class infrastructure
- safe communities and culture for all
- an open and effective council
Each outcome is part of what a city needs to achieve a good quality of life.
Successfully achieving these outcomes will depend on the way the whole city collaborates on the things that matter most, including:
- individuals
- communities
- organisations
In total, we received over 6,000 comments - we've published the results of the Council Plan consultation 2019 on our Open Data Platform.
