Our Vision & Values

Vision

Together we have developed a vision for Worcestershire. This vision is based on what Worcestershire residents told us was important to them in making our county a great place to visit, work or live in:

A County with safe, cohesive, healthy and inclusive communities, a strong and diverse economy and a valued and cherished environment

We have produced a Community Strategy that sets out the detail of how we will achieve this Vision.
