Corporate themes

The Council's Corporate Themes are decided every four years, and form the heart of each Corporate Business Plan. 

We recognise that a fundamental role of the Council is to provide a voice for Runnymede to help improve the quality of local people's lives. This can be achieved through working with others to direct support for people; improving the environment in which we live, work and play; and also helping ensure we have a vibrant economy.

Climate Change

To play a key role in creating a greener environment and effective response to climate change.

Empowering our communities

To support groups and societies with initiatives to strengthen their communities and to represent and advocate for our residents’ interests.

Health and wellbeing

To improve the health and wellbeing of our residents, working in partnership with the NHS and other stakeholders.

Economic development

To support sustainable growth in the local economy.


Organisational development

Through continual monitoring, assessment and adapting the way we work, how we use technology and the way we recruit and support our people we will have the workforce and systems to deliver our public facing strategies.

Get in touch about work opportunities

We are a flexible employer, with a range of family-friendly policies, good benefits and, where appropriate, adopt a hybrid approach to the workplace. We are transforming the way we work – so it’s an interesting time to take up a role in local government.
