www.slough.gov.ukThe purpose of the Five Year Plan is to do three things -
- To set out our vision
- To be clear about our priority outcomes
- To explain how we will do this
Plan to update the actions in the Outcome Plans and set
out how we will work with our partners and communities.
This year there has been a more in-depth review. We have
worked with the new Leader and Cabinet to define their
political priorities and revised the outcomes to reflect
these. The Leader has been clear about his priority to put
people first. We have reduced the number of outcomes
from eight to five, combining some where there was
overlap and duplication and removing others where they
were more about ways of working than tangible outcomes.
The Five Year Plan
was launched in 2015 to define the
Council
’
s ambition; the opportunities and challenges we
face, the role of the Council in meeting these and the priority
outcomes against which resources will be allocated.
The introduction of the Five Year Plan was important in
providing clarity of vision and direction, explaining how
and why the council is changing and, given that we are
all working with the same population, identifying more
effective and efficient ways of working together.
The Five Year Plan is updated every year and we also produce
an Annual Report so that we can check progress. Last year,
2016, we carried out a light-touch refresh of the Five Year
Our ambition is for Slough to be:
A place where people choose to live and work and where children can grow up to achieve their full potential
One of the most attractive places to do business in the country, with excellent communications,
business accommodation and a skilled, and available workforce
