APPENDIX I<br />

ORGANISATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR CORPORATE ASSET MANAGEMENT<br />

1.0 Strategic Framework<br />

1.1 ‘Making a Difference’ is the council’s strategic plan for 2006/07 and beyond. This sets out the<br />

council’s vision, values and the themes from the community strategy developed by <strong>Hillingdon</strong><br />

Partners to improve the co-ordination <strong>of</strong> public services and to reflect the needs and<br />

aspirations <strong>of</strong> the diverse local community. Group and service plans show how groups<br />

contribute towards achieving the vision, themes and targets within the council plan. These<br />

feed into annual team plans and individual <strong>of</strong>ficers’ Employee Performance Plans so that all<br />

staff are aware, in a way appropriate to them, <strong>of</strong> how they can contribute to the achievement<br />

<strong>of</strong> the council’s long term aims and the delivery <strong>of</strong> the community strategy and council plan.<br />

The concept <strong>of</strong> the golden thread is used to monitor consistency through all levels <strong>of</strong> the<br />

planning process.<br />

1.2 ‘Working Together for a Better Future’ 2005-2015 <strong>Hillingdon</strong>’s community strategy was<br />

published in June 2005. It was developed with the Council’s partners in the Local Strategic<br />

Partnership to provide a vision for the future. The strategy was developed after listening<br />

carefully to the views <strong>of</strong> local people, most notably at the Community Conference held in<br />

June 2004. The strategy is a series <strong>of</strong> short, medium and long term targets and goals for<br />

our community. These have been pulled together in seven themes, as follows:<br />

• A borough <strong>of</strong> learning and culture<br />

• A safe borough<br />

• A clean and attractive borough<br />

• A borough with improving health, housing and social care<br />

• A prosperous borough<br />

• A borough where opportunities are open to all<br />

• A borough where children and young people are healthy, safe and<br />

supported<br />

By working together and coordinating action in these seven key themes, the <strong>Hillingdon</strong><br />

Partners hope to improve the quality <strong>of</strong> life for all those who live and work in the borough.<br />

Eighteen <strong>of</strong> the nineteen joint community projects identified at the start <strong>of</strong> 2004/05 by<br />

<strong>Hillingdon</strong> Partners have been successfully completed.<br />

1.3 The Council Plan, published in June 2005, identifies seven core values:<br />

• Achieving excellence<br />

• Involving stakeholders<br />

• Valuing staff<br />

• Working in partnership<br />

• Promoting sustainability<br />

• Promoting diversity<br />

• Working as one council<br />
