Denbighshire County Council’s Priorities
If we are to make real change we need to do fewer things, but do them well. Councils which have a sustained focus on what matters are more likely to improve than those which set priorities and then are not able to stay on track through the typical ups and downs of change. Prioritisation is the way in which councils decide where to focus their scarce resources, including management time and effort. The ‘day job’ of meeting the council’s statutory duties continues, but a council’s priorities point towards the key areas that the council wants to change. Consultation ended on September 15, 2008.
