We consider the policies and objectives set out in the many statutory plans and strategies that are implemented throughout the City Council. We provide a diverse range of services and functions in conjunction with national, regional and local organisations, agencies, and community groups. We are responsible for supporting our elected members, associated committees, and implementing policy across all services. We set and meet local and national key performance indicators in implementing our corporate plan.
