What makes Essex work is the energy of its people. Passionate, motivated and responsible residents who work hard for their families, build their careers and play an active role in their communities. Essex County Council is dedicated to providing the best quality of life for these residents. To do this at the start of each year from now on the County Council will set out a series of pledges that are based directly on what is important to residents.
Our pledges will also be tested against how far they offer real value in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Through EssexWorks we will meet the challenge to deliver the best quality of life. Below are our nine pledges for 2008/9 for Our People, Our Economy and Our World.
