Thanet District Council Annual Report 2007 Annex

Introduction

Thanet’s Annual Report to Residents and this appendix fulfil the function of the Best Value Performance Plan (BVPP). The BVPP is a statutory document which every council must publish by the end of June each year.

All authorities categorised as fair are required to include the following items in their BVPP:

(a.) A brief summary of the authority’s strategic objectives and priorities for improvement. This should reflect its corporate/ business planning processes and community strategy. This is contained within the main body of the Council’s Annual Report.

(b.) arrangements for addressing the authority’s improvement priorities, particularly the opportunities and weaknesses identified in CPA, and the outcomes that are expected to be achieved as a result. This is contained within this appendix with detail of our ambitions contained within the main body of the report.

(c.) details of performance:

- outturn performance over the past year on all Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs);

- targets for the current year and subsequent 2 years for all BVPIs. These are contained within this appendix.

(d) a brief statement on contracts. The authority should state and certify that all individual contracts awarded during the past year which involve a transfer of staff comply, where applicable, with the requirements in the Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Local Authority Service Contracts. This is contained within this appendix.

The annual report is intended as a public document to inform our stakeholders and residents what we do and how we work. This appendix provides key information at a greater level of detail to supplement the main body of the report.
