The cornerstone of Carrickfergus Council is the delivery of public services. This is encapsulated within the Council’s Mission Statement, which states that:

"Carrickfergus Borough Council is to develop and maintain a sustainable quality environment which will enhance civic pride through the provision of efficient and effective public services at a reasonable cost."

The Council adopts a policy of complete openness and accountability to the public at all times.  Our aim is to constantly improve our service delivery and this is achieved by following a set of key principles which, through public consultation & resultant action, can successfully streamline the council to offer faster, more cost-effective services to the public it serves.

Strong civic leadership is the lynch pin that binds the Borough together and that drives it forward to meet the opportunities and challenges of the future.  Carrickfergus Borough Council has a clear vision for the future of the region, as set out within its Corporate Plan.  This Plan integrates four key themes that are crucial to the long term development and well being of the Borough and its residents. 

These are:

• Citizenship – building on the civic pride that we enjoy within the Borough
• Social Progress – seeking to promote co-operation between Council and those involved in community activities
• Economy – addressing the needs of our business community
• Environment – ensuring that we all enjoy the benefits of a clean, healthy lifestyle
