Overview
What is One Coventry?
Our One Coventry approach describes the way that we do things, how we work together with our communities and partners to improve the city and improve people’s lives
One Coventry is a way of working that enables us to focus on the things that people value most of all, 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?
The One Coventry Plan sets out our shared vision and priorities for the city.
The One Coventry Plan is currently being refreshed. This will set out a new strategic vision for the Coventry of 2030. The plan sets out our approach to increasing the economic prosperity of the city and region; improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities; and tackling the causes and consequences of climate change.
The achievement of the vision and priorities in the plan will help Coventry benefit from opportunities presented by levelling-up; address the challenges faced as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic; and deal with the issues most important to our communities, such as the cost-of-living crisis.
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, and leader as an anchor organisation in Coventry.
Our new plan is more focused on the needs and aspirations of our communities than ever before. We have listened and reflected on what people have been telling us and considered the key issues facing the City.

About this report
This annual performance report sets out our performance towards our priorities from April 2021 to March 2022.
As the One Coventry Plan is being refreshed, this retrospective blends our existing One Coventry performance metrics with emerging ones; with the intention to enable this report to provide both a review of the city’s performance, as well as evidence to provide a baseline for the new One Coventry Plan.
As before, for each of the priorities, this report sets out the trends, actions taken, and performance metrics to provide an assessment of the progress made against previous years and with other places.
Metrics
The Council uses agreed metrics to show progress made towards 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. Further information including infographics, open data, maps, and the Coventry citywide intelligence hub.
