Equality, diversity and inclusion annual report 2023

Our corporate plan

Our corporate plan was approved by Council in December 2019. It sets out:

  • what we want to achieve for local residents and communities
  • how we will work with public and private organisations to bring greater and lasting benefits to our county

This ensures we continue to provide good services but also work towards meeting the wider needs of Lincolnshire residents.

We are committed to:

  • being customer-focused – understanding the key issues for Lincolnshire’s people and places, to help shape services in a highly personalised way
  • working collaboratively – recognising that many people need organisations to work collectively to ensure we demonstrate how we value diversity and people get the best possible outcomes
  • connecting our communities – using infrastructure to connect people and places. This includes digital communications, rail and road networks
  • advocating for Lincolnshire – working with our partners to passionately advocate for Lincolnshire. 'Sing loud and proud', attracting additional investment to strengthen our communities
  • making your money go further – providing cost-effective, high-quality services
  • working creatively – tackling our challenges and making the most of all opportunities and innovation

The Corporate Plan has identified four key priorities. We are determined that in the future people and communities will have:

  • high aspirations
  • the opportunity to enjoy life to the full
  • thriving environments
  • good-value council services

We believe that high aspirations, good advice and information and education are the pathways out of poverty and vehicles for reducing inequality. We aspire to working with local communities and partners to deliver good quality services to all of our residents. We work with district, town and parish councils to provide community support, accommodation and housing that meets everyone's needs.

We believe that thriving, sustainable environments are important so that everyone can access and enjoy the beautiful outdoor spaces this county has to offer. We will continue to maximise and exploit technology so that we become even more accessible and continue to provide appropriate services to our customers.
