Welcome to the Towards One Council Website, a one stop shop for all news relating to the transition to one council for Wiltshire.

Corporate Programme Office

The ‘Towards One Council’ programme office is responsible for ensuring the overall programme vision and its objectives are met. Its activities include:

  • Managing the connections and dependencies across the workstreams (this is to ensure that the activity of one does not undermine the delivery of the others).
  • Managing and deploying the cross cutting resources that support the delivery of the overall programme e.g. Communications, HR, ICT, Finance etc.
  • Ensuring that the cashable and non-cashable benefits identified by the programme are delivered (the bid for one council identified a number of ways in which the transition would save money and improve customer service. Making sure these improvements are realised requires accurately calculating our ‘baseline’ now and then monitoring our progress towards agreed targets in the future).  
  • Managing and maintaining programme documentation and information.
  • Implementing effective budget management procedures that enable the production of up to date and accurate monitoring reports, ensuring that budget targets are met.
  • Design, implementation and updating of standard programme and project management procedures (including authorisation routes, quality assurance activity, risk management, benefit management and reporting requirements).

The programme office is the key information point regarding ‘Towards One Council’ activity. Please contact us if you have any questions or points to raise about the transition to one council. We will try to deal with your issue straight away or if it’s of a more complex nature to get back to you within five working days.
