We have been judged by the Audit Commission as an ‘Excellent’ council with an ability to definitely improve. This the highest level that can be achieved and inevitably, the council has now been cited as a best practice case study.

Appropriate measures of corporate performance have been established to ensure that we continue to target and achieve improvement on a consistent basis. In particular, a heavy focus is placed upon outcomes, real-time plans and strategic targets. The following links will provide a flavour of the methodology that this council is using to measure improvement as well as to show the level of achievement.

How we are performing
The Corporate self assessment, the Audit Commission, the Local Government Ombudsman and the Improvement & Development Agency (IDeA) allow us to measure how we are performing.
Real-time Plans
We have several plans in place to achieve our targets and serve our residents. Find out more about our real-time plans.
Strategic Targets
Key Delivery Targets, Core Values and Key Strategic Priorities, and our Vision and mission outline our targets for the next few years. Find out how we are doing.
