The Council monitors its performance in order to comply with the following Strategic Objective:
‘To consult with and take due regard of all comments received from other statutory bodies, voluntary organisations and individuals, to ensure an improving standard of service that meets with local needs’.
Performance is assessed by collecting performance indicator data, which is analysed quarterly by the
Performance Review Committee. Each year, the council publishes an Annual Performance Plan, which provides an over-view for the year for each council service, plus indicators of our performance in each area. Data is given for the past two years for each indicator, measured against annual targets, plus a target for 2008/09. This enables you to judge whether our services are improving.
The document describes the major projects undertaken by the council in the previous year and outlines projects for the coming year. The plan also details the council's expenditure and explains what this means for your Council Tax.
Your views are important to us as we strive to achieve our objectives and continually improve our performance. Please help us to help you by contacting us with your comments, either directly to your
local Town Councillor or to the
Town Hall.
