The Council Plan sets out our vision for the organisation and our Borough looking forward to 2027.
The plan contains clear goals that we will work towards over the next few years and centres around four strategic themes:
- Growing up in Sandwell
- Living in Sandwell
- Healthy in Sandwell
- Thriving Economy in Sandwell
All underpinned by One Council One Team.
This Plan will detail how we will deliver on these strategic themes and how we will measure our success.

Tracking progress of our Council Plan
The delivery of the Council Plan is monitored through our Corporate Performance Report. This report sets out the council’s performance against the Corporate Performance Indicators and our progress in delivering the Directorate Business Plans that are aligned to the Council Plan.
The Corporate Performance Report is prepared quarterly for the Senior Leadership Team and presented at Performance Board. The report is presented to Cabinet and then Budget and Corporate Scrutiny Management Board Committee.
Each directorate in the council is responsible for monitoring its own plans and key performance measures. When all this information is combined into the Corporate Performance Report, it gives a complete overview of how well the council is meeting the outcomes set out in the Council Plan.
