Every year, councils in Northern Ireland must publish an improvement plan that sets out improvement objectives for the year ahead. This is a legal obligation referred to as our Duty to Improve.
Our Improvement Plan does not include everything that we plan to do in a given year, but instead focuses on a smaller set of key "improvement objectives" and a range of associated actions.
Please tell us what you think of our proposed improvement objectives and actions by completing our short survey below. This will help us to ensure that we are focusing on the right things and that appropriate arrangements are in place to achieve them. We will use your feedback to finalise our Performance Improvement Plan 2025-26.
Our proposed improvement objectives are summarised below. You can read more about what we are proposing to do under each objective by accessing the survey or by clicking on the links on the side of this page.
