The Corporate Strategy is an important document that sets out our vision and priorities for the future.

When creating the Corporate Strategy we look at both the pressures and demands facing the Council and also the issues that are in theTendring Sustainable Community Strategy.

The Corporate Strategy then feeds down into other Council plans and policies, in particular the plans for each service. Service plans, in turn, then feed into the individual targets and plans for each employee.

We approved our current Corporate Strategy in 2004 and it looks ahead to 2011. Each year, we check the Corporate Strategy to make sure that it reflects the needs of the district as we recognise that things change very quickly. For example, there might be new national legislation affecting local government or specific needs and priorities within the district may have changed.

We have decided that it will be time to review our Corporate Strategy in the Autumn/Winter of 2008 as there is now:

• a new White Paper for Local Government
• a new Tendring Sustainable Community Strategy
• a new initiative to regenerate the district called Project Tendring
• changes to the National Performance Framework
