At the same time, demand for Council services is continuing to grow and new legislation places additional responsibilities on local government. In order to overcome these challenges, we are transforming our approach to ensure that our services are redesigned, aligned and delivered within reduced budgets in ways that will best serve our communities. To do this, we will build on our 2012-2017 Transformation Strategy, which successfully secured savings of £34 million for the Council by identifying new ways of delivering services and securing positive outcomes for our communities. Our new Transformation Strategy has been developed to deliver a programme, which, by 2022, will see a smaller Council employing fewer people but will continue to deliver high quality, key services; and an engaged Council, enabling communities to share decision making and providing opportunities for joint delivery of services. Our Council is well positioned to deliver the change needed to meet the challenges of the future.
