Coventry City Council is a modern, progressive local authority that puts respect, compassion, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of what we do. Our recently created One Coventry plan ensures we support our local community and our residents to lead healthy, fulfilling lives in Coventry.

Through our One Coventry approach and the delivery of our Plan, we will make the biggest and most impactful difference to the lives of Coventry people. 

The One Coventry Plan 2022 – 2030 is reflective of the emerging priorities for the Council, residents, local communities and the city for the coming years. 

The Plan has a clear vision: 

“One Coventry – Working together to improve our city and the lives of those who live, work and study here”

The three delivery priorities:

• Improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities
• Improving the economic prosperity of the city and regions
• Tackling the causes and consequences of climate change,

The two enabling priorities:

• Continued financial sustainability of the Council
• Council’s role as a partner, enabler and leader
