Long-Term Plans
Our 10 year plan sets out our direction and work programme. It lets you know what we will be doing - the services we will provide and the projects we will undertake, how much it costs, how we intend to pay for it, and how we will measure quality and our effectiveness.
The issues we face and the context within which we work are continually evolving. For this reason, a Long-Term Plan is produced every three years.
