Barnsley’s vision and ambition for 2030

Our collective vision for Barnsley is: Barnsley - the place of possibilities. This builds on our past which has influenced the fabric of the borough and experiences of many Barnsley residents, and the borough’s success over recent years.

By 2030 we want everyone to benefit from, and contribute to, making our borough a thriving place of possibilities.

Everyone has an important role in working together to make our ambitions for the borough possible and improve the lives of residents. Making Barnsley the place of possibilities is a collective vision, driven forward by organisations working across the borough, including Barnsley Council and NHS South Yorkshire.

Barnsley’s already a great place, and we want to do more. This vision drives our Council Plan, demonstrating our commitment to making it happen. We’ll concentrate on providing services where they’re most needed and will have the most impact, and we’ll help people to do more for each other and their community.

We’re committed to developing skills, talent and creativity among people of all ages, creating exciting prospects and meeting the demands of the future economy, and making Barnsley a better place to be.

At the heart of all of this is the proud people of Barnsley. It’s about celebrating and championing what makes our borough special to inspire others and work together to make an even better Barnsley.
