Council Plan 2022-2027

Our Council Plan, Connect, covers the period from April 2022 to March 2027. To help us write the Plan, in 2021, over 3,300 people answered our survey about ‘what matters to you’, and we had conversations with 27 different groups to find out more. Information from many other sources including local community plans, face to face discussions, online feedback, feedback from Community Groups, Community events and surveys was also gathered to help us understand what mattered most to the people of South Lanarkshire.

This wealth of information has been invaluable in helping shape our Council Plan, which we have written around our vision which is to improve the lives and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire. South Lanarkshire Council provides services for everyone in South Lanarkshire and our Council Plan sets out our vision and what we want to achieve over the next 5 years.
