Salford City Council's seven pledges

They serve as a long-term framework, shaping the way we work and guiding us towards achieving our mission statement:

"To create the best possible quality of life for the people of Salford."

Setting priorities for the city

The city council works with other organisations such as the police, NHS, probation service, university, chamber of commerce and local voluntary bodies.

We work together for the benefit of Salford's citizens and businesses and we meet as Partners IN Salford to set priorities for the city.

A phrase you may hear from time to time is "the local strategic partnership" (LSP). In Salford, that's Partners IN Salford.

Priorities agreed by Partners IN Salford are reflected in the council's own targets and cabinet workplan, and are supported in turn by the pledges.
