THE COUNCIL Plan 2023/28 was adopted by the Council in June 2023 and is reviewed annually to assess performance against its priorities:
- Poverty
- Affordable and Accessible Housing
- Green Society and Environment
- Economy
- Personal and Community Well-being
- Education and Skills
- A Well Managed Council
Throughout 2024/25, 99% of the 140 actions are green or amber, meaning they have been completed or achieved satisfactory progress. In terms of its measures, 82% of the 87 measures were on target or were within an acceptable tolerable range.
Councillor Dave Hughes, Leader of the Council said: “I am grateful to the staff who work day in, day out, to deliver the Council’s priorities and make Flintshire a place to be proud of.
“The Council faces challenges, but we will work together with our key stakeholders, communities, staff and Members to overcome.”
Neal Cockerton, Chief Executive Officer said: “Thank you to all staff who have contributed to this, overall good performance outcome. The Council is operating in a challenging environment with escalating budgetary pressures.
“It recognises that to deliver these Corporate Objectives whilst maintaining effective and efficient services, its journey is one of continuous review and change.”
Following a recent Audit Wales review, the Council has undertaken a Mid-Plan Review of the current Council Plan 2023/28 to consider escalating budgetary pressures, and the recommendations from Audit Wales. A new Council Plan 2025-2030 is currently under development and will be shared for consultation in the coming months.
