Vale of Glamorgan Council is inviting residents to take part in a survey that will help it shape provision of services in the coming financial year.

The draft Annual Delivery Plan (ADP) details the actions that will be undertaken in 2023-24 to improve local well-being and deliver the council's objectives.

A statement says: "In developing this delivery plan for 2023-24 we have had to take some tough decisions. The need to be resourceful and innovative and to challenge what we do and how we do it is more critical than ever.

As well as our four well-being objectives, in this year's ADP there is a particular emphasis on three critical challenges which many actions in the plan will contribute to. These challenges are:

• • The Cost of Living Crisis – supporting our residents, local organisations and business in the face of rising costs in particular around energy, food and housing.
• • Project Zero – responding to the climate and nature emergencies and delivering the commitments in our Climate Challenge Plan.
• • Organisational Resilience – ensuring that we can continue to adapt in the face of adversity and provide our services despite the financial pressures and workforce challenges that we and many of our partners organisations face.

Actions across all four of our Well-being Objectives will contribute to meeting these critical challenges demonstrating the integrated way in which we work and the multi-faceted nature of our activities.

This consultation has been designed to provide respondents with a summary of the actions we will take and an opportunity to comment on whether these are the right actions to achieve our wellbeing objectives and meet these critical challenges.
