DERRY City and Strabane District Council is seeking feedback from the public to its recently published draft Performance Improvement Plan for 2018/19.Under Part 12 of the Local Government Act (NI) 2014, Council has an obligation to produce a Performance Improvement Plan that strives towards continuous improvement in the quality of life of our citizens.
The first draft is currently available online and Council is keen to get the views of the public to the key objectives and to find out if there are any alternative improvement objectives they would like to see considered this year or in the future.
Among the improvement objectives set out in the draft plan are to increase employment opportunities and economic growth opportunities through a range of measures including new business start-ups, supporting existing businesses and delivering visitor growth as a destination of choice, and to enjoy long and healthy lives by increasing participation in high quality leisure sport and healthy living activity as well as experiencing improved customer satisfaction by improving customer support services and processes.
The draft plan also outlines the Council’s commitment to protect and enhance the environment through creating and supporting a culture of environmental stewardship by developing an efficiency plan for reinvestment in the Council’s Strategic Growth Plan.
