Draft Performance Improvement Plan: Year 3 - 2026/27

What is this and why are we consulting?

The Council has a duty to identify, consult upon, publish and work to deliver annual improvement objectives. It is proposed the Council’s Improvement Objectives for the next year are aligned to the four core priorities outlined in the new Corporate Plan 2024- 2028. The draft improvement objectives are:
  • Climate Action
  • People & Communities
  • Shared Prosperity
  • One Council
Over the course of the plan, the associated actions are likely to change, as progress is achieved, as we respond to challenges, and as we embed new data and evidence.

It is important we hear your views. We want to know to what extent you agree or disagree with our improvement objectives and associated actions. This is your opportunity to get involved as a resident, business owner or community stakeholder.

The survey should take 6-8 minutes to complete in full.
