Performance compared with other County Councils

The Council aims to have a high percentage of its national performance indicator (BVPI) results in the top quartile compared with other county councils. For 2006/07, 37% of indicators were in the top quartile, a  decrease on the 44% in the top quartile in 2005/06 and 40% in the 2004/05 performance results. Conversely the percentage in the bottom quartile has decreased slightly from 21% in 2005/06 to 18% in 2006/07.

The Executive Member for Performance, Efficiency and Communications  continued during 2007/08 his programme of reviewing business areas that fell into or remained in the bottom BVPI quartile.
