Our Vision for Calderdale in 2024 is a place where everyone can reach their potential and lead a larger life. We will be a place where talent and enterprise thrives. We will be defined by our innate kindness and resilience and be measured by how our people and communities care and support each other, but most of all we will stand out and be distinctive.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of the South Pennines in West Yorkshire, Calderdale is a vibrant metropolitan borough, and an active part of Leeds City Region, focused around strong market towns with amazing heritage assets. We have developed a Vision for 2024 for when we reach our 50th birthday as a local authority – to be the best Borough in the North.
