To build a better Tamworth, we all need to work together and do our part. By working as a team, we can make a real difference. As a Council, we aim to be more cooperative, collaborating with our residents and key partners, ensuring financial stability, and focusing on how to best serve our communities while working with others in the Better Together Partnership.

Our new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy, ensures that council services meet the needs of individuals, with a strong focus on community unity and social inclusion. We want to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels respected and valued and put residents at the heart of all we do. This strategy ensures our services comply with equality laws and addresses important issues like intersectionality, fairness, and gender-based discrimination.

We have also updated our council’s values and behaviours to help achieve our vision.
