Best Value Report

Best Value was introduced in the Local Government Act 1999. It was implemented by all principal local authorities including the Police, Fire Services and larger town and parish councils.

Best Value aims to deliver improvements in the services to the public. The legislation requires local authorities to challenge, compare, consult and compete on it’s existing service provision.

To assist us in our decision-making a variety of surveys covering all aspects of service provision have been carried out and the council will use these results along with the reviews of services for future improvements.

The Best Value Performance Plan (BVPP) is the means by which the Town Council can engage with local people on its record of delivering local services and how it plans to improve upon them.
