A NEW plan to strengthen local communities and grow the local economy has been approved by Staffordshire County Council.

The two-year strategy was agreed at a meeting of the authority last week.

It sets five priorities, including people, economy, connectivity, communities and value for money.

Cllr Martin Murray, acting leader of Staffordshire County Council said:

> “Our communities are at the centre of everything we do as a county council.  
>  
> “Staffordshire has always been a county shaped by the strength, passion, and determination of its people. This plan sets out how we will continue to champion them through a set of priorities shared by us, our residents and businesses.  
>  
> “It builds on our proud past with an ambitious and achievable vision – further enhancing Staffordshire’s position as the beating heart of the country.”
