The Borough Council is an ambitious authority and our focus is upon encouraging new and growing businesses, promoting the area to visitors and business investors and improving the infrastructure upon which the expansion of successful business relies. At the same time we are seeking innovative ways of delivering services which allow us to continue to provide a wide range of quality services despite the economic challenges that the public sector has faced in recent times.

Our corporate business plan highlights the council’s role driving forward local economic and housing growth, ensuring the area remains clean and safe, and celebrating our local heritage and culture. That the borough is a place where people are able to maximise their potential and live safe and healthy lives. With a strong political and managerial leadership the aims of the council are clear and resources are focussed on delivering our objectives.

We are an employer with a great reputation, which can offer a busy and varied workload, fantastic opportunities for personal and career development, and the opportunity to work with other highly skilled and motivated people who take great pride in working for the benefit of those who live in, work in or are just visiting our Borough.
