Corporate Plan

Our Corporate Plan for 2023-28 sets out the council’s priorities and how we will work alongside local people and partners to provide services over the next five years.

Called ‘Delivering Together,’ the plan is designed to be easier for people to engage with.

It has been produced using feedback from staff, residents of all ages and backgrounds, users and providers of council services, elected members, partner organisations, other local authorities and more.

Bridgend County Borough covers around 100 square miles with a population of 145,760 (2021 census).

We have a diverse geography, with beautiful valleys in the north to the 12.5 miles of coastline and beaches to the south.

The M4 runs right through the centre of the county borough, and we have main-line rail links to Cardiff and London to the east, and Swansea in the west.

Our assets help us keep our communities connected and supported. Without our land, buildings, roads and footpaths we wouldn’t be able to provide most of our services.

We also maintain 882km of road network and 613.72 km of public rights of way, which include footpaths. This is further than the distance from Bridgend to John O’Groats!

Our ambition for Bridgend County Borough

Over the next five years, we want to invest in the right things, the things that make the biggest difference and are most valued by you.

Your council's five ways of working:
