We set out to answer the question ‘to what extent has the council acted in accordance with the sustainable development principle when setting its new well-being objectives’. We did this by exploring the following questions:

• Was the process the council put in place to set its well-being objectives underpinned by the sustainable development principle?
• Has the council considered how it will make sure it can deliver its well-being objectives in line with the sustainable development principle?
• Has the council put in place arrangements to monitor progress and improve how it applies the sustainable development principle when setting its well-being objectives?

What we found

The Council has set its well-being objectives in accordance with the sustainable development principle and is aligning its key strategies and business plans to support their delivery, but it could further strengthen its approach by increasing the diversity of citizen involvement in future.
