Plymouth City Council is undergoing an exciting transformation programme which will radically change the way services are delivered across the city. Plymouth is a spectacular waterfront city which has seen many exciting changes over the last few years. These include the growth of Plymouth University, the redevelopment of sites such as the Royal William Yard, the opening of Plymouth Life Centre - one of the best sports and leisure facilities in the country- a growing events programme and a burgeoning reputation as a foodie heaven. Plymouth is an ambitious city and there are many exciting major changes ahead. Our reputation as a centre of excellence for marine sciences and engineering will expand as the City Deal programme provides a Launchpad for small companies and increases the space available for marine-related industries. Our universities continue to attract attention around the world and our schools, including the new University Technical College, increasingly work with industry to nurture future talent. Plymouth has a huge amount to offer, including an unrivalled lifestyle with its amazing green spaces, stunning waterfront and close proximity to some of the best beaches and landscapes in the UK, as well as all the advantages of a vibrant urban culture of a big city. This city is full of opportunity for the right people and businesses to work together to create one of Europe’s most vibrant waterfront cities where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone.
