Worcestershire has a two-tier local authority system and the County Council works closely with the six district, city and borough councils. Worcestershire County Council places a great emphasis on listening to the views of local people and businesses. Through listening and talking with approximately 35,000 residents and businesses, the council created the Corporate Plan and the four priorities which local people said are important: Promoting Health and Well-being Ensuring Worcestershire is Open for Business Supporting Children and Families Protecting the Environment. Despite the significant financial challenges, Worcestershire County Council is ambitious in achieving these priorities and is looking at what can be done differently in the future. The council works with all providers, including both the voluntary and community sector and the private sector, so that commissioned services are delivered to benefit those who live, work or visit Worcestershire. The council's vision is to ensure Worcestershire lives up to its reputation as a good place to live and work, and is truly World Class Worcestershire.
