Principles met

  • We will develop systems that enable citizens to be equal partners in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.
  • We will promote community-based approaches to economic development that focus on supporting the creation of jobs, social enterprises and other businesses and providing an environment for co-operative and mutual enterprises to thrive.
  • We will embrace innovation in how we work with local communities to drive positive change.
  • In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.

By continuing to put its well-established Knowsley Better Together principles into action, Knowsley Council is working hand-in-hand with local residents and partners to ensure that local communities have the support needed to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, as together we look towards Knowsley’s ambitious aims for the future.

The Knowsley Better Together principles bring people, groups, and organisations together for the benefit of Knowsley.  Throughout the pandemic, putting these principles into action enabled Knowsley Council and its partners to work alongside local communities and support people when they most needed help.  In the Council’s role to lead the Borough’s ongoing, long-term COVID recovery programme, these longstanding principles are more important than ever.
