‘A BETTER, greener and fairer’ Rugby – that is the promise outlined in Rugby Borough Council’s new Corporate Strategy.
The Corporate Strategy 2025-2035, which was approved by the council’s cabinet on Monday (November 4), outlines plans to create a sustainable economy ‘where residents, businesses and the natural environment thrive’.
Council leader Coun Michael Moran said the strategy aimed to shape the borough to be a better place to live – ‘a genuinely thriving borough we’re all proud to call home’.
He added: “Our passion for Rugby and its villages drive this Corporate Strategy, placing our communities at its core.
“As a new administration, we have worked to ensure the strategy has been written in plain English to provide clear guidance on where we want the borough to be in 2035.
“It provides the framework for all of the council’s policies to follow.
“Most importantly, the strategy will have a core business plan sitting behind it which will be reviewed and assessed each year.”
The strategy focuses on four key priorities – health, economy, the environment and reducing inequalities.
For each key priority, the strategy sets out what the council plans to achieve and how it plans to achieve it.
A delivery plan for the strategy looks set to be agreed each year when the council sets its budget to allocate resources.
The council also intends to publish updates on the delivery of the Corporate Strategy in an annual report, outlining progress and refining strategic priorities, as required, for the following year.
Coun Jerry Roodhouse, leader of Rugby Borough Council’s Liberal Democrat group, said: “We welcome the production of this Corporate Strategy, which outlines a joint vision for Rugby borough.
“By working together, we have produced a road map which will deliver for residents.
“Our task now is to turn this strategy into a reality. Rugby is a place I’m proud to call home and this strategy will be able to make it even better.”
