Council Departments
Adult and Community Services
The Adult and Community Services Department will promote the independence and well-being of adults and older people. It will also coordinate work on wider community safety issues and be responsible for our much valued library and heritage service.
The department will hope to deliver better improved services through independence and choice. There will also be a greater emphasis in strengthening partnerships with the community and voluntary sectors including those in Public health.
Being healthy and having a good place to live, learn and work will be the departments main priority.
