Council Launches Corporate Plan

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council has launched its Corporate Plan - 'Our plan for Growth and Connecting' in Hillsborough Castle to an invited audience of elected representatives, local businesses and partner organisations.

The Mayor, Councillor Uel Mackin, welcomed everyone and said: "I am pleased to be here in the stunning Throne Room in Hillsborough Castle for the launch of the Council’s Corporate Plan 2018-2022 and beyond. The setting for this morning’s event is significant for a number of reasons and I can’t think of a better place to launch our plan. The redevelopment work of the Castle and investment by the Council in the village will have a major positive impact and once it is fully re-opened we will have a tourist attraction like no other on the Island of Ireland. The Council is working hard to ensure that local businesses prepare for this boost to our economy."

Chairman of the Council's Corporate Services Committee, Councillor Nathan Anderson, commented: "Looking at the theme of our Corporate Plan 'Growth and Connecting' this truly reflects the overall vision of the Council. We are a strong entrepreneurial Council in every aspect and it is the ambition and the drive of our organisation that keeps us ahead of the game. We have set demanding targets over the next four years focusing on clear themes and we will achieve these. This plan is a roadmap of where we want to be and how we are going to get there. We must seize the opportunities presented to us and better ourselves and our community in any way we can. We must also do this with our core values respect, honesty, excellence, accountability, leadership, and equality at the forefront."

Representatives from SERC, Coca-Cola and Council officers also spoke about the Corporate Plan and what this means to their organisation or to them personally.
