An overview of the improvement work by the Mayor and council directorates.
“This Croydon Mayoral business plan sets a new direction, building on the hopes and aspirations of our residents and businesses.
The business plan will transform the council into one that delivers sound and sustainable local government services, and in so doing will transform our borough into one that Croydonians can once again be proud to call home.”
Jason Perry, Executive Mayor of Croydon
The business plan sets out 5 priority outcomes:
The Mayor’s business plan will be developed into themed strategies for each directorate. A set of performance indicators are also being developed which align to the outcomes set out in the business plan. Progress against these indicators will be reported regularly at cabinet meetings and available publicly on our website.
