Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is one of ten authorities in Greater Manchester. Together they form the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Our vision and priorities
Tameside council has a vision to create ‘A place where everyone can achieve their hopes and ambitions’.
To help us achieve this vision we have identified five key priorities part of our Corporate Plan that we believe will make a difference to our residents’ lives. It aims to build an energy in our communities and a confidence in our residents that we are delivering for Tameside.
The new Corporate Plan sets the context for the council’s approach to service development and delivery and is supported by a number of key strategies and plans.
Our Values
Our ‘STRIVE’ values are central to the council and underpin the way that we work, make decisions and do business. They are at the heart of everything we do as how we do things is just as important as what we do. They are embedded in our policies as well as the way in which we behave with colleagues, customers and partners. They enable transformational change, whilst driving continual improvement in delivering our priorities. We pride ourselves on living by our STRIVE values.
