Louth County Council’s 2025 Annual Service Delivery Plan was officially adopted by elected members at the council’s monthly meeting which took place yesterday, Monday, 24th March.

Speaking after the meeting, the Louth County Council Chief Executive, David Conway, said: "This plan is our roadmap for delivering high-quality services to the county and the citizens of Louth can use it as a reference point for the performance standards that they can expect from us.

“It reflects our commitment to improving the county, supporting communities, and ensuring that public services continue to evolve to meet local needs. We encourage everyone to engage with the plan and see how it shapes the future of County Louth."

The Annual Service Delivery Plan sets out the principal services that the local authority will continue - or intends - to deliver in the relevant year. It also includes the objectives and priorities for the delivery of each of these services.

The plan aligns with the 2025 Budget, adopted by elected members in November 2024, and incorporates the latest available performance indicators from 2023 which will be used to benchmark service delivery in 2025.

It also fits within the wider vision of the Louth County Council Corporate Plan 2024-2029, which sets out the local authority’s long-term goals and strategies.

Each service objective in the plan is supported by detailed team plans and personal development plans for staff, ensuring a structured and accountable approach to service delivery.

In shaping this plan, the council has considered all relevant policies and strategies, including the Corporate Plan 2024-2029, Local Economic and Community Plan 2024-2029, Capital Programme 2024-2027, Annual Budget 2025 and the County Development Plan 2021-2027.
