Worcestershire County Council

Worcestershire is home to over half a million people and covers 672 square miles. We have created a Corporate Plan: 'Shaping Worcestershire's Future'​ with our four key priorities to help guide the work of the council and our relationship with individuals, families, communities and partners over the next five years. - Open for Business Worcestershire has one of the fastest growing local economies in the country. Being 'Open for business'​ remains our key priority. This is vital for both individuals and businesses to achieve their full potential and keep Worcestershire prospering. - Children and Families We are focused on improving outcomes for all children, young people and families in Worcestershire. Our ambition is to see more children and young people achieving their full potential in education as well as keeping children and young people safe. - The Environment Our environment is one of the county's key features, with a diverse mix of vibrant urban areas and idyllic rural communities. Our country parks, open spaces and woodlands provide great walking and cycling opportunities which support our health and well-being vision - Health and Well-being Working with partners, we want to ensure that Worcestershire residents are healthier, live longer, have a better quality of life and remain independent for as long as possible.
