Corporate Plan

The Corporate Plan 2020-24 sets out the vision and improvement priorities for Derbyshire Dales District over the next four years. It is the key strategy from which the District Council's Budget and Service Plans cascade.

Priorities
There are 3 broad priority areas:
People - providing you with a high quality customer experience
Place - keeping the Derbyshire Dales Clean, Green and Safe; and
Prosperity - supporting better homes and jobs for you.

These were agreed at the Council meeting on 5 March 2020.

2022/23 Service Plans

Our service plans form an important part of the management and monitoring of Council services. They contain details of the services we will deliver, linked to the aims and objectives of the Corporate Plan.

Our service plans for 2022/23 were agreed by the council in March 2022.

The Plan includes our ‘Corporate Plan Indicators’ and ‘Key Performance Indicators’ which will be monitored quarterly, as well as service indicators which will be reported at the end of each financial year. The service plans also include information on staff resources and budgets to clarify the link between service levels and resources.
