Our Performance
Essex County Council is dedicated to improving Essex and the lives of our residents. Our ambition is to deliver the best quality of life in Britain. We will achieve this by providing high-quality, targeted services that deliver real value for money.
Our Vision
Our new vision is as follows:
Essex means business. We want to be a vibrant place where every individual and community has the opportunity to grow and reach their potential and play a part in our county’s success
This is our vision for Essex for the period 2012-17. We have articulated this vision following a period of intense evidence gathering, analysis and consultation with residents, partners and employees. It replaces our previous EssexWorks programme which ends in March 2012.
Delivering the vision
As we deliver this vision over the next five years, our key priorities for Essex will be:
- enabling every individual to achieve their ambitions by supporting a world-class education and skills offer in the county;
- securing the highways, infrastructure and environment to enable businesses to grow;
- improving public health and wellbeing;
- protecting and safeguarding vulnerable people; and
- giving people a greater say and a greater role in building safer and stronger communities.
