Birmingham’s Corporate Plan for 2025-2028

This plan sets out our priorities for the next three years – focused on improving how we operate, meeting our statutory responsibilities, and delivering better outcomes for citizens through genuine partnership with communities, stakeholders and strategic partners.

The Corporate Plan brings together, for the first time in a single document, two interrelated agendas: our contribution to the new City Vision and its own IRP. The IRP forms the foundation of this Plan, acting as its engine room - providing the essential reforms and capabilities that will enable us to deliver upon its wider ambitions.

Rather than covering every area of activity, this Plan focuses on the most critical issues where we can make a tangible difference. It aims to set out a clear and achievable path to becoming a more effective, financially sustainable, and citizen-centred organisation, operating within the boundaries of our resources.

The Plan outlines:

  • The partnership-wide City Vision and five core missions.
  • An additional council-specific mission focused on securing improvement and recovery.
  • Strategic priorities for the next three years, aligned to each mission.
  • An overview of how these priorities will be delivered, including links to key strategies and delivery partnerships.

By embedding a new way of working - rooted in partnership, focused on neighbourhoods, and aligned to what matters most to citizens - the council can deliver on its commitment to a fairer, more inclusive and more prosperous city for all.
