Departments
There are five departments:
- Corporate Resources (including Property, Financial Services and ICT Services)
- Environment and Transport
- Adults and Communities
- Children and Young People's Services
- Chief Executive's (Policy, publicity)
Increasingly governance is breaking away from the departmental structure and becoming programme-based. There are currently six major programmes:
- Organisational Efficiency (mostly financial projects)
- People and Performance (human resources)
- Customer First (service shops and call centres)
- Work Well (mobile and flexible working)
- Highways Service Efficiency
- Waste Strategy

Famous quotes containing the word departments:
“A man sees only what concerns him.... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Some of these men had become abstrusely entangled with the spying departments of other nations and would give an amusing jump if you came from behind and tapped them on the shoulder.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
