About Derby City Council

We're proud of Derby and want to make it an even greater place to live, work and visit – a city which is safe, strong and ambitious. Safe means where people are safe and the vulnerable are put first and supported. Strong means where people work together, can enjoy good health and wellbeing throughout their life and feel that they belong to a thriving community. Ambitious means where we support our children and young people to achieve their full potential, skills are valued, jobs and businesses are growing and we have the infrastructure to create a city for the future. Our Council values illustrate the way we want to work to achieve our vision for Derby as a safe, strong and ambitious city: Being the best – we create an environment where we constantly strive for better ways of doing things, through creativity, forward thinking and learning. Brilliant customer experience – we put all our customers at the heart of everything we do. Can do – our positive attitude means that we find ways of achieving excellent results for our customers, partners, stakeholders and colleagues. Honesty and respect – we will behave ethically and embrace diversity while treating everyone fairly.
