  • Aim to minimise the use of temporary accommodation.
  • Work with partners to give more people the choice to remain living independently at home.
  • Work with landlords and tenants to ensure safe, healthy and energy efficient homes.
  • Support a borough-wide health and wellbeing offer.

Engaging, empowering and keeping our communities safe 


  • Encourage volunteering through the development and delivery of a new organisation-wide Volunteering Strategy.
  • Work with partners to protect the community through targeted crime reduction and enforcement activities.
  • Engage with our communities and ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to be heard.
