Our Vision and Values

The Council is a very complex organisation.  To reflect this, we have many strategies, plans, policies and visions at different levels of the organisation.  It is because of these complexities that we need a common goal that everyone can share.

Our City Vision

Our vision is a city which is vibrant, dynamic, forward looking - an even better place to live and work, where people can expect high-quality services that meet their needs.

Our Council Vision

We will be recognised within the city and more widely, as being a leading Council in Northern Europe by 2010.

Our six values

1. Ensuring total commitment to customer care
