Following the elections in May, the Council’s new political administration has set out their priorities to deliver real change on the issues that matter most to residents and communities across Cornwall.
The Council Priorities Plan 2026-2030 is the next important step on that journey as it outlines what the Council will focus on in the years ahead to achieve those priorities.
The plan also sets out the Financial Principles to guide how Cornwall Council will deliver the priorities while remaining financially sustainable and resilient. This is important, because the financial context for Cornwall Council and other local authorities remains challenging. More people need our services and at the same time the costs of delivering those services continue to rise.
To maintain a balanced budget we will need to make further savings and review how services are provided. On the plus side, the Government is giving more certainty to councils about revenue funding for future years, meaning we can plan better for the years ahead. The Council Priorities Plan 2026-2030 will be our Business Plan, guiding how the Council will deliver improved outcomes for residents. It already underpins the comprehensive review of our spending and the resulting budget proposals and Medium Term Financial Plans.
We asked you to please let us know by 18 January 2026 which actions are most important to you and what Cornwall Council can do that would make the biggest impact on the quality of life for you and/or your family. To provide your feedback, you could complete a survey. Alternatively, you could send in your comments by email or by post.
We are now analysing the results. The feedback will be reported to the February meetings of the Cabinet and Full Council.
