Council
Our corporate plan sets out our priorities and the work we will do to improve the quality of life for everyone in Belfast.
Our priorities are closely aligned to those within the Belfast Agenda, the community plan for Belfast, which was developed by the Belfast Community Planning Partnership. It sets out a shared vision and associated outcomes for the city.
The corporate plan for 2020–2024 focuses on the five key pillars plus several cross-cutting priorities:
The document also includes details of:
The Local Government Act (NI) 2014 introduced an ‘improvement duty’ on councils, which requires us to make arrangements to ensure continuous improvement in relation to the services we provide.
As part of this, we are required to consult residents on our proposed improvement objectives and to publish an annual Improvement Plan.
This year, we aligned our improvement objectives to the Belfast: Our Recovery plan so that we can continue to focus our efforts on supporting local people through covid-19 and on helping our services and city recover.
The improvement objectives for 2021-2022 are:
| Our city |
| We will support our city to recover by helping to restore the social and cultural vibrancy of our spaces and places in a safe and sustainable way |
| Our services |
| We will take steps to ensure our services adapt and improve in the short and longer term. |
| Our communities |
| We will work to support our communities, helping them to become stronger, healthier and more resilient |
| Our economy |
| We will work in collaboration with others to protect and create jobs and support people into employment. |
| Our environment |
| We will take action to protect the environment and improve the sustainability of Belfast |
| Our digital innovation |
| We will improve digital inclusion and enhance our digital infrastructure to support job creation and our economy |
Each year we review our performance by publishing a report which considers progress against key objectives within our improvement plan.
