Flintshire’s Council Plan - End of Year Performance 2024/25

Published: 09/07/2025

The Council Plan 2023/28 was adopted by the Council in June 2023 and is reviewed annually to assess performance against its priorities; Poverty, Affordable and Accessible Housing, Green Society and Environment, Economy, Personal and Community Well-being, Education and Skills and A Well Managed Council.

Throughout 2024/25, 99% of the 140 actions are green or amber, meaning they have been completed or achieved satisfactory progress. In terms of its measures, 82% of the 87 measures were on target or were within an acceptable tolerable range.

Councillor Dave Hughes, Leader of the Council said “I am grateful to the staff who work day in, day out, to deliver the Council’s priorities and make Flintshire a place to be proud of. The Council faces challenges, but we will work together with our key stakeholders, communities, staff and Members to overcome.”

Neal Cockerton, Chief Executive Officer said “Thank you to all staff who have contributed to this, overall good performance outcome. The Council is operating in a challenging environment with escalating budgetary pressures. It recognises that to deliver these Corporate Objectives whilst maintaining effective and efficient services, its journey is one of continuous review and change.”

Following a recent Audit Wales review, the Council has undertaken a Mid-Plan Review of the current Council Plan 2023/28 to consider escalating budgetary pressures, and the recommendations from Audit Wales. A new Council Plan 2025-2030 is currently under development and will be shared for consultation in the coming months.
