services.
Councillor Aaron Shotton, Leader of the Council, said:
鈥淭hrough our Council Plan we prioritise areas and services that are important
to the community and to our residents and measure how well we are doing.

achieving on the things which matter most to our communities, building on the
fact that we were the fastest improving Council in 2016/17, despite the
