Our Council Plan sets out what we aim to achieve by 2027.
It explains what we want to do, how we plan to do it, and how we'll measure whether we're on track to achieve it.
The Council Plan has been developed by the work that has taken place for the Barnsley 2030 project with residents, businesses, employees and other key stakeholders across the borough. This helped to build a picture of what Barnsley is like now and want it to be like by 2030.
Our priorities
We have five priorities which are supported by 12 outcomes that describe our intentions until 2027, to make sure that we focus on Barnsley as the place of possibilities.
We have 37 critical success factors (key performance indicators) that will help us measure our performance against each priority and make sure we deliver the best outcomes for our borough.
- Healthy Barnsley - People can access all the care and support they need, at the right time and in the right place.
- Learning Barnsley - The opportunities available for young and adult learners mean that everyone can fulfil their learning potential. Helping them build the skills they need to get into work and progress their careers.
- Growing Barnsley - Barnsley is an inclusive place where everyone can find suitable employment, live in a high quality home that's right for them. Be able to access the fast and affordable digital resources they need.
- Sustainable Barnsley - Protecting our borough for future generations.
- Enabling Barnsley - is our underlying priority to make it easy for us to be even better, to champion continuous improvement and achieve the best value for our residents.
Quarter 1 performance
Our dashboard provides a detailed review of each of our critical success factors including a red, amber and green (RAG) rating. This RAG rating is applied to each of our critical success factors (CSF). This tracks our progress to achieving our vision of Barnsley, the place of possibilities.
Each CSF falls under one of our 12 outcomes, which in turn feeds into one of our five priorities (Healthy, Learning, Growing, Sustainable and Enabling Barnsley).
We track the progress of each CSF over the year and report on them on a quarterly basis where applicable. We also provide commentary on the progress of each indicator.
Our quarter 1 2024/25 performance report shows where we're achieving our targets, and where there are areas for improvement.
32 critical success factors were reported in quarter 1:
- 19 were RAG rated green
- 7 were RAG rated amber
