“Transformation means changing - so that we deliver better outcomes for the people who use services, better value for money for our council tax payers, we are better partners to the organisations we work with, and people have better job satisfaction when they come to work.”

Executive Director of Children’s Services

“Transformation means reimagining services, with residents, children, and families at the heart of decision-making - doing things differently to make a real difference. It’s about reshaping systems, culture, and practice to be more inclusive and preventative, focusing on what truly helps, to improve outcomes and help every child and family thrive.”

“To me, transformation means doing things fundamentally differently to the way we currently do them. We should be transforming services for residents and businesses for the better, as better outcomes cost us less.”

Executive Director of Place

“The Place programme drives transformation across many areas. Asset transformation will act as a catalyst for other services to transform, including our libraries, housing and regeneration. Our transport infrastructure can also be maximised. Tatton Park offers a chance for a long-term plan for our most accessible asset, with exciting future plans.”
