A new model for public services, driven by reform and transformation. We are seeking to:

• Unify services around people and places

• Improve governance

• Deliver better outcomes through strategic planning and collaboration

In order to create:

• People-centred services designed around residents’ lives, not organisational boundaries

• Integrated and efficient services which reduces duplication and improves accountability, with services which are digitally enabled, prevention-focused and financially sustainable

• Place-based growth, unlocking economic potential by leveraging its strategic location and sector strengths e.g. life sciences, creative industries.

• Community empowerment with residents actively shaping services.

Our guiding principles are:

1) Resident first

2) Prevention led

3) Inclusive and enabling

4) Partnership led

5) Powered by data and technology

6) Culturally ambitious

7) Strategic and place based
