The Council’s Corporate Plan sets out the Council’s vision for the District of Tendring, its residents, businesses and for visitors to the area. Through the various themes identified in the Corporate Plan, the Council commits to priorities during the term of the Plan. The Council’s Corporate Plan 2024-28.
Each year, the Council’s Cabinet highlights certain of the projects and activities that are important in that year to the overall delivery of the Corporate Plan ambition. Progress with these highlight priorities can be tracked through the transparency pages of the Council’s website.
The Corporate Plan cannot cover the full range of services the Council delivers and the law requires the Council to have certain Strategies, Plans and Statements in place in addition to the Corporate Plan. Through this web page, the Council’s aim is to provide easy access to the core plans it has in place. Over time these will be reviewed and replaced. As this happens, this web page will be updated. It may be that certain of the Council’s Plans are overdue for review and the Council will have arrangements to address this.

| Creative and Cultural Strategy |
This Creative and Cultural Strategy has been developed by Tendring District Council with assistance from Black Radley and Arts Council England. The Strategy aligns with the Council’s 2020 – 2024 Corporate Plan and with its Economic Development Strategy, and is sympathetic with the Council’s aspiration (and that of its partners) to resolve issues of entrenched social and economic deprivation. The Strategy focusses on business growth and job creation, whilst also seeking ways to enrich the creative and cultural offer of the district and to increase the opportunities for informal participation amongst residents and visitors alike. |
