Resource plans and progress

Connect is the Council Plan for South Lanarkshire Council. It sets out our vision, values, priorities and outcomes and what we hope to achieve over the next five years on the things that matter to our residents.

At the very heart of this is our shared vision 'to improve the lives and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire' through the services delivered by our five Resources (Education, Social Work, Community and Enterprise, Housing and Technical, and Finance and Corporate) and in the work we do with communities and partners, including the South Lanarkshire Community Planning Partnership and the Health and Social Care Partnership.

This is the fourth version of Connect, following earlier Council Plans published in 2007, 2012 and 2017. Throughout this period Connect has been kept under review to take into account all the internal and external pressures that affect the council. Our latest Council Plan continues this process with the aim of continuing to deliver the best possible services and value for money.

The Council Plan 2022-27 was published after it was approved at the full South Lanarkshire Council Committee on 15 June 2022.
