The Council has a number of strategies, plans and policies to help plan and deliver services and achieve its vision. These include corporate, departmental and operational plans, many of which we are required to produce by law.

Please visit individual Service Area pages on Redbridge-i for strategies and plans relating to a particular service.

Corporate Strategy

The Council's Corporate Strategy (PDF 2.08MB) was published in October 2006.  The Corporate Strategy is the Council's business plan and sets out how the Council will deliver on its priorities.  It helps Councillors and staff to focus on the Council's vision and aims and to deliver key strategic priorities.

The Council's vision is:

To make Redbridge a better place to live.

Our aims are to make Redbridge:

• A safer place to live
• A cleaner, greener place to live
• A better place to learn
• A better place for care
• A better place for business
• A better place to live together

Our internal aim is to make Redbridge:

• A better place to work.

The Council is currently reviewing its Corporate Strategy to ensure that we will deliver on the priorities of the Sustainable Community Strategy.

Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement

The Redbridge Sustainable Community Strategy (PDF 1.51MB) 'Shaping Our Future Together' was finalised in May 2008 and sets out how the Council and its partners will make Redbridge a better place to live over the next ten years.  The Strategy addresses the changes and challenges that the borough faces.  It co-ordinates our partnership to make sure our work is meaningful, well-timed and efficient.

The partnership's vision is that:

In ten years, Redbridge will be a safe and clean place where people are proud to live, work and invest.  A place that is caring, vibrant and healthy.

Our ambitions are to:

• Make Redbridge safer
• Promote a positive attitude to the environment and have a cleaner, greener Redbridge
• Improve people's health, care and well-being
• Give people the skills and opportunities to make the most of their lives
• Develop and support the Redbridge economy.

Redbridge Strategic Partnership negotiated a Local Area Agreement (LAA) (PDF 207KB) with the government that was approved by the Secretary of State in July 2008.  The LAA is a three-year plan that sets out targets to support the partnership to deliver on the priorities of the Sustainable Community Strategy.  The LAA will be reviewed every year.
