Best Value

Best Value is a Government initiative to make local authority services better and more efficient. As from 1 April 2000, all local authorities have had a duty of Best Value.  By the end of June each year, it must publish a Performance Plan which gives details about the authority's approach to Best Value, its performance compared with other councils, future performance targets, the outcome of service reviews, external inspections etc.

The Council's Annual Report 2008-09 which included Best Value performance information for 2007-08 has been published on the Council Policies and Plans page.
