In 2011 the Council became a Co-operative Borough which means it is committed to developing a co-operative future; one where citizens, partners and staff work together to improve the borough and create a confident and ambitious place.  Within the council we are working to ensure all of our policies, procedures and practices are co-operative. This means we’ve made fundamental changes to the way the organisation works”
