Performance

Part 12 of the Local Government Act (NI) 2014 requires all councils to work towards continuous improvement in how they deliver services.

Each year, we set goals to help improve the services we provide. We also review our progress and publish a report showing how we are performing.

The Northern Ireland Audit Office checks our improvement arrangements every year through an Audit and Assessment. Since 2016–17, the Council has met this legal duty. The results are published in the S95 Annual Audit and Assessment Reports.
