Our Council Plan 2024 to 2027 describes the key role we play in supporting the borough. We do this through the provision and delivery of efficient and effective services that are essential to everyday life.
The plan also outlines our 4 big ambitions for the next 3 years. These will:
- create opportunities for everyone in the borough
- build on the progress we've made since publishing our last Council Plan
- step up the pace of change and delivery

Delivery of efficient and effective services
The delivery of efficient and effective services is at the very heart of our Council Plan. We recognise that alongside our longer-term ambitions, we must deliver good quality, timely and responsive services on a day-to-day basis for the people of Stockport.
This also means good customer service and working to our values. We always:
- think about Stockport first
- achieve as a team
- work with ambition
- show everyone respect
