Welcome
Our residents and our staff are at the heart of everything we do.
The council's new Corporate Plan is a significant milestone in the development of our organisation. It sets out a clear and positive statement of what we want to achieve for Belfast over the next four years, aligned to our medium-term Financial Strategy, it sets out the high-level policy direction for the whole organisation to be delivered through our key strategies, investments, our service delivery plans and the huge contributions that our staff make to the city every day.
The Corporate Plan takes the priorities of the city’s community plan (The Belfast Agenda) and sets out the ways in which the council will deliver these to grow a sustainable, inclusive economy and equitable society.
Belfast is a place where ambition thrives. It’s a place where people get things done, translating aspiration into action. We are proud of what we have achieved over the past two years and are very excited about the future for our council and city as we go forward with confidence to fulfil and advance the objectives of our Corporate Plan 2025–2028.
While Belfast has faced unprecedented levels of uncertainty in recent years as a result of global shocks such as COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis, our citizens have demonstrated great resilience and it is vitally important we don’t lose sight of delivering strong local services that contribute to tackling inequalities and improving the quality of life for our residents. As we plan ahead, it is essential that we continue to engage with political leaders and decision-makers at all levels, and with communities across the city to enable us to continue to develop and deliver a successful city that works for everyone.
We are proud to serve Belfast and represent our residents. This is why our new Corporate Plan will put our residents at the heart of everything we do. Our collaborative approach with partners and communities offers a path to redesigning and delivering services that are responsive to local needs and delivering the investment that are essential for continuing success. The new plan means that citizens, city partners and investors will know what direction the council is heading, what it stands for and provide the opportunity to hold us to account.
