Alvechurch Parish Council

Introduction
Alvechurch Parish Council’s Strategic Plan is guided by three fundamental elements:

Our vision, our mission and community values.

Our vision is the desired future toward which our entire strategic plan is directed. It describes a future view of our community that we are committed to achieving.

Our mission describes both our purpose and our practices. It acknowledges that the town serves multiple stakeholders, and all of their interests are important to us. Our mission also speaks directly to our employees, without whose tremendous effort and contributions we can never achieve our goals.

Both our vision and mission are founded on the values that guide all our actions and decisions. These values reflect what we expect from both our employees and our elected officials.

The villages strategic plan is a continual work in progress. Over time, new priorities, new opportunities, new demands and new challenges will emerge, and incorporating annual business plans into the town’s strategic planning process ensures us the flexibility to respond quickly and effectively to these changing directions.

Alvechurch Parish Council is a forward thinking and proactive Council which strives to provide an active and pleasant quality of life for the residents of the village and surrounding areas.

The Council will also ensure robust risk management as an essential feature of good governance. It is vital to recognise that risk management is not about health and safety, but applies to all aspects of the Parish Council’s work.

Finally, the Council recognises that any loss of service provision affects the community; it is the responsibility of all Members and Employees to ensure that Council resources are not placed at unnecessary risk.
