Key strategies, plans and policies
Our strategies, plans and policies shape the way we deliver and improve services.
The Southampton City Council Corporate Plan (2022-2030) is a key document and sets out the four key outcomes that make up our vision.
We have developed the 2024 update of the Corporate Plan to reflect our changing circumstances as a council and a city.
The Southampton City Strategy (2015-2025) is a partnership strategy which sets out the vision for the whole city: 'Southampton a city of opportunity where everyone thrives'.
