Our Corporate Strategy: A Greener, Fairer, Thriving Guildford

A Greener, Fairer, Thriving Guildford sets out our priorities as a council for the next ten years, and how we plan to make Guildford borough a thriving place to live, work and do business.

Our priorities

Over the ten next years, we're focusing on five key priorities for our activities as a council. These are:

  • a more sustainable borough - we're committed to becoming a more socially and environmentally responsible borough
  • a more prosperous borough - building on Guildford borough's strong local economy to attract inward investment
  • a more inclusive borough - a welcoming borough where people of diverse identities feel valued, respected, included, supported, and represented
  • decent and affordable homes - we will use the powers and means available to us to ensure that local people have access to decent homes that they can afford
  • a resilient and well-managed council - we're committed to public service, we exist to serve our residents, businesses, and visitors

Delivering our strategy

The main way we intend to deliver this strategy is through our annual delivery plan. Costed and agreed within our annual budget. This will set out the key things we plan to do.

Work to develop this is already underway. We will post updates on this page about our progress.

A key part of achieving our resilient and well-managed council priority is delivering our improvement plan.

Reporting on our progress

Each year, we will report on the progress against the objectives set out within our corporate strategy.

Every quarter our Overview and Scrutiny Committees review our corporate performance report. It sets out the key measures by which we can judge how we're working. It also shows our progress towards the goals in our strategy.
