Fit for the Future
We have changed the way we work so that we are able to respond flexibly and adapt quickly to new technological changes and changing customer needs. We make the most of the latest digital technology, develop our workforce so that we have the right skills in place and work effectively with our partners.

Working with our partners
Many of our partners are co-located with us in the Civic Centre making it even easier to work together to deliver the right solutions for our customers. Local residents can visit ‘the Hub’ to find information, advice and guidance, on everything from housing through debt relief to volunteering.
