Communications Strategy
Our Communications Strategy explains how we communicate with residents, communities and other audiences. It supports our Council Plan, which sets out the council’s vision, values and the outcomes we aim to deliver for South Lanarkshire.
Good communication helps people understand what we are doing, why we are doing it and how they can get involved. It also helps us stay open, accessible and accountable in all our work.
