Arrangements to Secure Continuous Improvement
Developing our Performance Improvement Plan
Welcome
Welcome to our Performance Improvement Plan for 2025/26.
As a council, we aim to deliver high-quality services for our citizens, and we are committed to working in better ways to achieve this.
Our Performance Improvement Plan is part of our arrangements to secure continuous improvement.
It focuses on some of the issues affecting our borough, whilst working alongside the Mid and East Antrim Community Plan and our own Corporate Plan, to deliver the best outcomes for our citizens, communities, businesses, and visitors, including our City Deal projects which will develop our tourism assets and grow our economic potential.
This year, we will concentrate on developing our Local Economic Partnership action plan, to support the Sub-Regional Economic Plan and rebalance economic growth across Northern Ireland.
We will endeavour to drive footfall into our town centres and support our local businesses, recognising the many challenges they face.
We will improve how we communicate with our citizens and visitors, by going back to basics and installing new information notice boards within our town centres, so people know what’s going on in our borough.
We will help to prevent violence against women and girls, addressing a key issue within our communities, by tackling the underlying causes of violence, abuse and harm towards women and girls and stopping it before it starts.
We will help to make Mid and East Antrim a great place to live in and visit, by encouraging everyone to play their part in looking after it.
And finally, we will improve our environmental impact by rolling out a new, simpler way of recycling across the borough.
I am really looking forward to working alongside our partners to deliver this plan, and I want to thank everyone who contributed to its development.

Interim Chief Executive
