Our Corporate Vision
Mission Waltham Forest is our new corporate plan encompassing an ambitious set of missions that will drive all our work across the Council.
Mission Waltham Forest: our plan for a more equal borough
Mission Waltham Forest sets out the Council’s plan for more equal borough by 2030. It is our commitment to all our residents to tackle the fundamental challenges facing them and drive the change within the Council that is needed to achieve this.
Our six Borough Missions and four Council Missions are designed as challenges for ourselves as an organisation and serve as our commitments to our residents. They will organise Council activity and galvanise us to come together and work more collaboratively.
This means a “One Council” approach, where we seek collective agreement on how we best use our time, attention and resources in a way that best serve our residents.
Mission Waltham Forest is a testament to our unwavering dedication to putting residents at the heart of everything we do. It signals our relentless focus on equality and opportunity for everyone.

- A focus on services designed around residents
- A preventative approach for stronger communities
- An inclusive workforce that reflects our community
- A firm financial footing
