opportunities.
- Protecting and enhancing the environment.
- Strengthening our economy.
- Meeting housing needs.
- Tackling rural issues.
- Fulfilling its obligations by the quality delivery of all its
essential services.
The core values that underpin our conduct and work are:

- Ensuring wise use of resources.
- Acting with integrity at all times.
- Being accountable.
Our strategic objectives
Building on the vision for the district, and taking close
account of the objectives in the
Suffolk Coastal community strategy, the Council
has identified six priority themes to focus its efforts:
- Community well-being.
- Economy.
- Rural issues.
- Housing.
- Environment.
- Fiscal & democratic services.
Supporting the achievement of our objectives under each of these
themes are six perspectives which are used to inform all of our
activities:
- Serving our community.
- Improving customer satisfaction.
- Developing our people.
- Effective leadership.
- Optimising organisation performance.
- Funding for future success.
These themes and perspectives are at the heart of the
Suffolk Coastal balanced scorecard and they
underpin the achievement of a vision which has quality of
life at its heart.
