Our Council Plan Summary

This diagram shows how Our Council Plan contributes to our vision for Kirklees and shared outcomes alongside our partnership strategies. Note the vision, shared outcomes, and key strategies are under review by our partnerships and scheduled to change during 2026/27.

The Kirklees Council Plan works in tandem with the four partnership strategies, working towards our shared outcomes and vision for Kirklees.

‍

Our Vision

For Kirklees to be a district that combines a strong, sustainable economy with a great quality of life - leading to thriving communities, growing businesses, high prosperity and low inequality where people enjoy better health throughout their lives.

Our Values

Just like for individuals, our organisation's values guide the way we think and act. In our response to the pandemic we have seen our values in action, under incredible pressure and in a rapidly changing environment.

Kindness
We are kind so that our behaviour makes each other feel included, happy and well.
We work with each other and are friendly, considerate and appreciative.
We 'do with, not to', showing kindness to each other and our citizens.
 
Inclusion
We provide equal access to opportunities and resources for all people.
We achieve inclusion by removing barriers, discrimination and prejudice.
We value and promote a culture of inclusion and diversity.
 
Pride
We work with pride to achieve positive outcomes for colleagues, citizens and our places.
We have self-respect, dignity and take satisfaction from our achievements and those of our colleagues.
We are proud of what we do as individuals, together as a council, and together with our citizens and places.
