Council to report back on its business plan targets

3:09pm Monday 13th February 2012 in News

A Wiltshire Council report to be discussed at its cabinet meeting on Wednesday, will show how it is performing and delivering the goals set out in its business plan.

The plan sets out how the council intends to meet the challenges, while delivering its vision to create stronger, more resilient communities.

The goals are for the council to provide high quality, low cost customer-focused services, prioritise local issues, be open and honest in all decision making, and work with partners to support Wiltshire’s communities.

John Brady, cabinet member responsible for performance, said, "Wiltshire is still delivering good services in difficult financial times.

"The performance of the council against its targets in the business plan is very positive and we will continue to work to maintain the quality of our services for the residents of the county."

The report to cabinet provides information on performance relating to priorities such as safeguarding vulnerable children and adults, waste management, pothole repairs, and leisure services for the period April to December 2011.

It shows most of the targets have been met, and gives details about what the council is doing in an effort to meet the remaining targets.
