Proposed Performance Improvement Objectives 2025/26

Overview

We are seeking resident views on the Council's proposed Performance Improvement Objectives 2025/26

Why your views matter

The Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 (the 2014 Act), Part 12 put in place a framework to support continuous improvement in the delivery of Council services, in the context of strategic objectives and issues that are important to those who receive those services.  We are required to gather information to assess improvements in our services and to report annually on our indicators or those which have been set by central Governement departments.  A further requirement of the 2014 Act requires the Council to set itself objectives for improving the exercise of its functions during the year and to publish an Improvement Plan which sets out its plan for discharging its duties.  The purpose of the Performance Improvement Plan is to provide evidence that the Council is seeking to continually improve its performance. 

In preparing the Plan we use evidence from a number of resources, and we consult with our residents and other stakeholders to make sure we are focusing on the things that are important to them. 

Our annual Improvement Plan and objectives are aligned to the Council’s Community Plan- the 'Big Plan for Ards and North Down 2017-2032' and its Corporate Plan 2024-2028.
