Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has published its Council Plan 2026–2031, setting out its vision and strategic priorities for the next five years.

Building on the foundations laid since the Council's formation in 2015, the plan highlights major achievements delivered over the last four years in partnership with local communities and organisations.

These include securing up to £72 million in Growth Deal funding from the UK Government and Northern Ireland Executive, commencing the £16 million Ballycastle Leisure Centre project, delivering the £1.4 million Ballymoney Environmental Improvement Scheme and completing 150 capital projects representing £41.5 million of investment across the Borough.

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Oliver McMullan, said: "The Plan demonstrates the Council's commitment to working collaboratively with citizens, businesses, statutory agencies and community organisations to continue making the Borough a place where people are proud to live, work and visit.

"Council has successfully hosted major international events such as The 153rd Open Championship, while continuing to deliver efficient and effective services during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis."

The plan is organised around five priorities: engaging and communicating with residents; empowering and supporting people and communities; creating opportunities for economic growth; protecting and enhancing the environment; and ensuring strong governance with continuous improvement across Council services.

Developed through engagement with residents, elected members, staff and partner organisations, the strategy focuses on issues that matter most locally and aligns with the Community Plan, "A Better Future Together", which sets a long-term vision to 2030.

Delivery will be supported by robust financial planning and management. Council income primarily derives from domestic and business rates, supplemented by fees and charges and by external funding secured through government programmes and agencies.
