Council Plan - Guiding principles

A set of guiding principles have been established that shape how we will develop Wirral Council as an organisation and implement this plan.

Underpinning principles

Working to local priorities, using local resources to ensure Wirral residents receive the best possible services:

  • Independence: Enabling individuals, families and communities to help themselves and each other.
  • Joined-up design: Ensuring our services are accessible, person-centric and joined up.
  • Relationships: Working with residents, partners, businesses and communities for a better Wirral.
  • Prevention: Working to address the causes of inequalities and demand on council services and ensuring we provide the right support at the right time.
  • Regeneration: Investing in infrastructure and supporting businesses to provide a thriving economy and opportunities for all.
  • No one left behind: Inclusive services which recognise the different needs of residents, families and communities.
