The One Coventry Plan sets out our vision for the city in the years ahead.
It shows how we will work, with partners, organisations, and residents to create a city where everyone contributes to our shared goal of achieving a safe, equal, diverse, creative, and active community. We are working with our many varied communities to create a new vision for Coventry. Together we want to make Coventry an even better city – a place where everyone has the chance to succeed, where nobody gets left behind, and where everybody has a voice. We strongly believe that through addressing disadvantage, we can contribute to ensuring residents live happily and healthily, with better outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.
Over the last few years, we have been working hard to ‘shift the balance’ of our services to ensure we intervene early and prevent needs escalating – to enable us to focus our resources on those who really need them, while also trying to prevent complex issues from happening in the first place. Many residents are held back by problems and challenges that have been around for too long. We need to continue to innovate to respond to these long-standing problems, focusing on tackling the root causes.
