How Hull City Council will contribute to the overall ambitions and priorities for Hull in the coming years can now be put in place, after Full Council approved the new Council Plan.
The Council Plan 2024-2028 is the Council’s contribution towards the new Community Plan, which will shape the city for the next decade.
Its priorities have been developed based on feedback received from residents and partners, as well as existing Council and partner strategies, and regional and national government policies.
The Leader of Hull City Council, Councillor Mike Ross, said: “We are a council that wants to listen to our residents and also get the basics right – and the Council Plan will help us to further achieve all that and more.
“It means that we now have something that simply states what things are important to the people of the city – whether that be the people that we serve, the people who work for the Council, or the people that we work alongside.
“It allows us to carry on with our work of making Hull fairer, cleaner and safer, and delivering on people’s priorities to ultimately ensure Hull is a great place to live.
“It also provides clarity to those companies and organisations that want to join others who have invested in our city, adding to the economic boosts that we’ve already experienced.”
The Community Plan, which the Council Plan feeds into, sets out six ambitions and three commitments.
The six ambitions are:
- Safe and welcoming neighbourhoods
- A healthier and fairer Hull
- Reaching our potential
- Economic growth that works for all
- Responding to the climate and nature emergency
- Our culture, our heritage, our city
The three commitments are:
- Engagement of all residents and communities
- Strong, united leadership committed to improving outcomes
- A focus on inclusion
Councillors approved the Council Plan at a meeting of Full Council on Thursday 21November.
