Each priority helps to achieve the Council's vision:

"By 2021 Cannock Chase will be a place where people have the opportunity to enhance their quality of life and achieve economic prosperity"

Having listened to residents, consulted with partners and understood the demographic outlook for the area, there are four priorities:

PEOPLE: active and healthy lifestyles
PLACE: improved living environment
PROSPERITY: economic resilience
