What do you think of the new Council Plan?

Overview

Southwark’s 2018-22 Council Plan is the overarching business plan for the council and describes our vision for the borough. It sets out the council’s priorities for the next four years, and the commitments that we have made to the people of Southwark.

The Council Plan is more than just a set of promises, it explains the type of borough we want to be and the values that will guide us to get there. It is the action plan for the council and will shape what every team and member of staff does and how we can work together as one council to achieve our shared ambition of a fairer future for all.

We have been talking to you and listening to you, most recently through the Southwark Conversation – our largest ever public consultation. The feedback we had from residents helped shape this plan and the key issues raised throughout the Southwark Conversation, for example the importance of community, affordable housing, transport, green spaces and air quality, are reflected in the commitments set out in this plan.

We know that we can only deliver the ambitions set out in this plan by working with residents and organisations across the borough who contribute so much to making Southwark what it is. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas about this plan and how we should implement the ambitious commitments set out in it.

Over the next four years, we will continue to engage with you – listening to your ideas and your concerns, and working with you to find solutions to improve our borough. We know that we can only achieve our ambitions with the energy and talents of everyone who lives, works and has fun in our borough, working together to deliver a fairer future for all.
