Stockport publishes council plan for 2022/23

Stockport Council has published its Council Plan for 2022/23, building on its core aims and objectives already set out in the One Stockport Borough Plan.

The Council Plan is designed to build on the positives of joint working and collaboration which have been so prevalent during the pandemic, while also recognising the challenges we face as a borough such as the rising cost of living. The plan has been developed using resident engagement responses that were collected during the drafting of the One Stockport Borough Plan.

The Council Plan aligns with the borough plan’s nine priorities, centred around ONE Heart, ONE Home, and ONE Future, while adding a tenth, One Council, which focuses on unifying ambitions around a council that values partnerships and collaboration, cares about staff and engages them in the future and is founded on strong governance. The plan details how the council intends to deliver on its long-term priorities during 2022/23.

The Plan is also aligned with the long-term vision of the newly published Greater Manchester Strategy, and ensures Stockport Council can work with colleagues from the city-region’s other nine local authorities to strive for long-term goals such as equality and sustainability.

Cllr Elise Wilson, Leader of Stockport Council, said:

“Our residents remain at the heart of our plans and are central to our ambitions. The pandemic has widened many pre-existing inequalities across the borough, and we are committed to tackling the underlying causes of inequality.

“Another theme of the plan is to improve sustainability using our Climate Action Now (CAN) strategy and Climate Summit to drive our strategy in this area.”

“Our plan focuses on delivering the best results for residents, and we are focused on putting local people at the heart of a fairer, greener and vibrant Stockport.”

The full 2022/23 Council Plan is available to read in full on the Stockport Council website.
