Consultation on Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s draft Performance Improvement Plan for 2026/27
Overview
What this consultation is about
It is our duty to make arrangements to secure continuous improvement in the exercise of our functions.
This is set out in the Local Government Act (NI) 2014.
Every year, we write a plan on how we will work better.
This is called a Performance Improvement Plan.
We have developed three draft Improvement Objectives, and we want to know what you think about them.

Additional Information
Our Performance Improvement Plan sets out our Improvement Objectives.
These objectives do not include every improvement we plan to make, but show how we are working on some of the main needs and issues within our borough.
We also have a bigger plan called the Corporate Plan, which sets out our main goals, as well as other smaller plans and strategies.
All of these plans work together to try to improve our borough and the lives of the people who live here.
How you can help:
We have developed three draft Improvement Objectives, and we want to know what you think about them.
We also want to hear about your own ideas for improvement.
The next pages will tell you more about our draft objectives, including why we have decided to focus on them and some of the ways we could make improvements.
The consultation will end on 8 April 2026.
We will publish our Performance Improvement Plan by 30 June 2026, in line with statutory timescales.
This plan will include a lot more information about the actions we will take to achieve our objectives.
