Overview
What is One Coventry?
One Coventry is a values-based approach that describes how we work together with our communities and partners to improve the city and the lives of all who live, work and study here.
It is a way of working that enables us to focus on the things that people value most, helping us to make the biggest possible impact on the lives of local people.
Our One Coventry approach focuses on enabling people to live their best lives in a vibrant and prosperous city. This can only be achieved by listening to and collaborating with, those who live, work, visit, and do business in our city, by having different conversations and building on the great things that are already happening.
What is the One Coventry Plan?
Coventry City Council’s new corporate plan: The One Coventry Plan 2022-2030 was informed by Coventry residents and outlines our vision and priorities for the next eight years. The plan describes the way that we bring people and organisations from across the city together, to work as one; in order to make the biggest positive difference to the lives of those who live work and study here.
The One Coventry Plan sets out the strategic vision for the City of Coventry to 2030 and our approach to increasing the economic prosperity of both the city and region by improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities; and tackling the causes and consequences of climate change.
These are things that the Council cannot do alone. We must continue to work in a way that ensures we maintain continued financial sustainability of the Council, as well as strengthening the Council’s role as a partner, enabler, leader and as an anchor organisation in Coventry.
Our refreshed plan is more focused on the needs and aspirations of our communities than ever before. We have listened to and reflected on what people have been telling us and considered the key issues facing the City.
In summary, our three delivery priorities are:
1. Increasing the economic prosperity of the city and region.
2. Improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities.
3. Tackling the causes and consequences of climate change.
The two enabling priorities are:
1. Continued financial sustainability of the Council.
2. The Council's role as a partner, enabler and leader.
How we measure our progress
This bi-annual report sets out our performance against each of our three key priorities and two enabling priorities for the period April 2023 to March 2024. It identifies trends, provides performance metrics, with supporting qualitative information via case studies, to enable an assessment of the progress made. It also includes contextual insight into our overall performance and comparison with regional and national benchmarks where applicable.
Metrics
The Council uses agreed metrics to show progress against its priorities. This is supported by a wider basket of metrics including equality and perception metrics that help explain the trends and story behind the headlines. Metrics are selected from key strategies and aligned to directorate priorities and equality and health inequalities objectives.
