Getting our finances right
Image
The council balances its books, listens to residents and delivers good sustainable services
We will focus on transforming the organisation into one that delivers sound, sustainable local government services. Owing to the council’s financial situation, we have fewer resources to spend on services for residents. Some services will have to stop; others will be targeted at people with the most need. In some cases, we will work with the community to help themselves and then help residents find the help they need.
We will:
- get a grip on the finances and make the council financially sustainable
- become a council which listens to, respects and works in partnership with Croydon’s diverse communities and businesses
- strengthen collaboration and joint working with partner organisations and the voluntary, community and faith sectors
- ensure good governance is embedded and adopt best practice
- develop our workforce to deliver in a manner that respects the diversity of our communities
