This authority’s resilience during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic also demonstrated our ability and willingness to use new ways of working.

 

Now the many projects detailed in this paper, taken together, are another step in the essential process of moving Staffordshire’s residents and businesses forward so that we are equipped to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.”

 

Mike Sutherland, Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources
