Our LET’S Do It! Strategy is now 5 years old, and for these past years we really have been ‘doing it!’, Bury remains the third most prosperous borough in Greater Manchester, we’re moving ahead with regeneration projects worth over £100m and are leading in areas from adult social care to community health.
Over the last 5 years, we’ve ‘stepped-up’ in our place-based leadership, we’re operating ‘innovative and brave’ neighbourhood teams, we’ve won awards for our change and development programmes, won the GM Health & Care Awards Inclusive Recruitment award, and been recognised at the Health Service Journal Awards for our Adult Community Care. As the LGA put it ‘strengthening our internal narratives supports external progress’.
Our strategy is working, but we’re not there yet, we needed to refresh LET’S, to create a more focused, more refined and more purposeful strategy that could guide us across the next 5 years. One that took the best of LET’S and built on the mature partnerships across Team Bury, leveraged the improvements and opportunities across our Borough and GM, and made sure we delivered on a specific set of targets by 2030.
