The council has an Improvement Plan which has 13 priorities to be delivered over the course of three years.
From those 13 prioirities we identified 8 we wanted to really focus on and these are called our Improvement Objectives.
Each year we take the opportunity to review and publish to you (the citizen) what our priorities are for the year ahead and the differences we hope to make. Our Improvement Objectives for 2011/12 are in the main long term improvements, so rather than set new priorities we have carried out detailed work to ensure our objectives are still what the public want and that they remain relevant. We are pleased to introduce an updated set of objectives for 2012/2013 which can be downloaded below:
Improvement Objectives 2012/13 (PDF 387kb)
Improvement Objectives 2011/12 (PDF 962kb)
Improvement Objectives 2010/11 (PDF 426kb)
This contains information on the council's eight Improvement Objectives including: -
- How and why we chose the Improvement Objectives
- How we intend to improve in the areas identified
- What benefit the public can expect to see as the outcome to improvement
- How we will consult with the public to identify areas most in need of improvement in the future
The Improvement Objectives are available in Welsh or in other languages or formats upon request.
We will be providing an update of our progress against last years Improvement Objectives in the Autumn time along with other information that will detail how we have performed as a council for the year of 2012/2013.

We are currently in the process of setting our new Improvement Objectives for 2013-14 and finding out what members of the public think about our choices. This is a very important part of this process and we would like your feedback on this. Our survey can be found below.
