Improvement Objective 4: Improving Infrastructure to encourage electric vehicle uptake in the borough to reduce emissions and protect the environment for future generations.
Why we did this:
- The UK Government announced the year 2030 as the phase-out date for the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans. From 2035, all new cars and vans must be fully zero emission at the tailpipe.
- Improving the borough's electric vehicle infrastructure will facilitate a sustainable transition to low-carbon transport systems.
- In a survey conducted to establish attitudes and behaviour towards transport use, almost 30% of Northern Ireland respondents (from a total of 464) were from Mid and East Antrim (equating to 134 people). Of these, 34% of respondents who plan to change their vehicle in the next three years said they would be likely to purchase a battery electric vehicle. (Source: Survey conducted in July 2021 as part of the FASTER project, in conjunction with Transport Research Partners).
Who was responsible: The Director of Operations
What you see:
|
Outcome 1: A target of 3 rapid electric vehicle chargers (50kW, 80% charge in 20 minutes) installed at strategic locations in the Borough by December 2023, as part of the cross-border FASTER project. (Project timescales were extended and targets updated after the consultation period). |
Status: Stopped. |
How did we do this year? Due to changes in delivery, by the project lead, it was no longer viable, financially, or environmentally, for Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to remain a partner in this project. Therefore, this measure has been deemed as ‘stopped’, and will not be taken forward by the Council. It does not form part of the Performance Improvement Plan for 2023/24. |
|
Outcome 2: A minimum of 12 fast chargers (22kW, charge in 1 to 2 hours) installed throughout the Council area by September 2023, as part of the On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme.
|
Status: Delayed but progressing. |
How did we do this year? 12 fast chargers are secured for the Borough. Completion is now expected by March 2024, following a delay in the tendering process. This outcome forms part of the Performance Improvement Plan 2023/24 Improvement Objectives. |
|
Outcome 3: A communications and awareness campaign to influence behavioural change towards electric vehicle use. |
Status: Achieved. |
How did we do this year? As part of the communications campaign for the FASTER project, South West College delivered a series of EV Talk webinars, hosted by Dr Euan McTurk. These were promoted on social media for our residents. One webinar was held in November 2022, and a second in December 2022. These were attended by 3 |

Improvement Objective 5: Creating an Autism Friendly Mid and East Antrim Borough Council.
Why we did this:
- Autism is a developmental disability that influences a person’s ability to communicate and relate to other people, as well as affecting how they make sense of the world. It is a spectrum condition, meaning that while all people with autism will have similar problems, overall, their condition will impact them in different ways. Some people may be able to lead independent lives, while others will require a lifetime of specialist support. (Source: “Prevalence of Autism (including Asperger Syndrome) in School Age Children in Northern Ireland” Department of Health and NISRA (2023).
- Figures extracted from the 2022/23 Northern Ireland School Census show that 15,212 school aged children had been diagnosed with autism. This represents an estimated autism prevalence rate of 5.0% within the school aged population. (Source: “Prevalence of Autism (including Asperger Syndrome) in School Age Children in Northern Ireland” Department of Health and NISRA (2023).
- Improving people's health and wellbeing, and reducing health inequalities, is one of residents' top five priorities for making the local area a good place to live. (Source: Mid and East Antrim Borough Council Household Survey, 2018).
Who was responsible: The Director of Community.
What you see:
|
Outcome 1: The continued rollout of an awareness raising programme. |
Status: Achieved. |
How did we do this year? Seven workshops were delivered during 2022/23. Autism-Friendly Information Roadshows were held in Carrickfergus in January 2023 and Ballymena in February 2023. The Larne Roadshow was postponed due to the unavailability of key organisations and took place in June 2023. Four online Makaton taster sessions, a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs, and speech to enable people to communicate, took place in March 2023, and a further two in April. We have a waiting list of 142 people registered for this training. We co-hosted a free exhibition entitled ‘Creative Voices: What Autism Means to Me’, alongside the Education Authority Autism Advisory and Intervention Service. The exhibition displayed over 100 pieces of artwork by autistic post-primary pupils from across Northern Ireland. We highlighted Autism Acceptance Week by creating a screen saver for our intranet and issued an article to staff about the work of the initiative. The launch of Top Tips for Business will take place in 2023/24. This objective and related outcomes and key performance indicators are included within the Performance Improvement Plan for 2023/24. |
|
Outcome 2: Additional Council venues becoming ‘Autism Friendly’ places. (This is a deviation from the Consultation Document, where internal action plans are to be delivered, rather than external formal recognition). |
Status: Delayed but progressing. |
How did we do this year? Though later than anticipated, four Council venues are expected to complete their ‘Autism-Friendly’ action plans by September 2023. |
|
Outcome 3: Additional Council staff recognised as Autism Champions, to advocate on behalf of individuals with autism within Council venues and events. |
Status: Delayed but progressing. |
How did we do this year? We expect to have four additional Autism Champions within Council by September 2023. |
|
Outcome 4: The continued rollout of Just A Minute Awareness Training to Council staff.
|
Status: Achieved. |
How did we do this year? 103 staff members took part in the training by 31 March 2023. |
How we measured progress:
|
Indicator 1: 4 additional ‘Autism Friendly’, virtual or in-person, public awareness sessions held for businesses, Council staff or the local community by March 2023. |

|
Status: Delayed but progressing. |
How did we do this year? The Braid Museum and Arts Centre, and Larne Arts Centre received Autism Impact Award training in March 2023. Carrickfergus Museum and Andrew Jackson Cottage received their formal training on 5 June 2023. All four venues are aiming to complete their action plans for formal accreditation by September 2023. This target is included within the Performance Improvement Plan for 2023/24.
|
|
Indicator 4: 6 additional Council staff recognised as Autism Champions by March 2023. |
Status: Not achieved. |
How did we do this year? The delivery mechanism limits the Council to having one official Champion per venue. Venue staff will receive the training, but not the formal accreditation. We anticipate having four additional Autism Champions by September 2023, as outlined in the Performance Improvement Plan for 2023/24. The original target cannot be achieved. |
|
Indicator 5: An additional 100 Council staff completing Just A Minute awareness training by March 2023.
|
Status: Achieved. |
How did we do this year? 103 additional Council staff completed the training. |
Improvement Objective 6: Improving customer engagement and service delivery by enhancing the Council's use of information technology.
Why we did this:
- Our services will be more effective and efficient, providing greater satisfaction and value for money for ratepayers.
- Digital transformation will lead to improved management reporting and will support better and more informed decision-making.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasised the need for greater flexibility in delivering online services. ICT can be used as a driving tool to minimise face-to-face scenarios and help ensure our services are more accessible.
- 39% of residents said they would like to be able to report a problem online, 37% would like to book activities, 27% would like to buy tickets, and 22% would like to pay bills (Source: Mid and East Antrim Household Survey, 2018).

Planning indicator 1: The average processing time of major planning applications
- At 47.6 weeks, we were within the top three performing councils in Northern Ireland in 2022/23. The shortest average processing time achieved was 46.4 weeks, followed closely by 47 weeks.
- No council met the 30 week standard last year, with an average processing time among the eleven councils of 57.8 weeks. This represents an increase of 8 weeks compared with the previous financial year and exceeds the 30 week target by almost 28 weeks.
- Six councils reported an increase in average processing times in 2022/23 compared with 2021/22, with five councils reporting a decrease. We experienced an increase of almost 13 weeks.
- Major planning applications require approval from multiple statutory consultees, including but not limited to, the Rivers Agency, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, and Transport NI. There are occasions when consultees are unable to provide feedback within the allocated timeframe, which can delay the approval process. Delays can also happen when applications have inaccurate or insufficient detail. On resolution, the application must go through the consultation process again.
- The Department for Infrastructure annual bulletin identified significant events during the last two years that will have impacted on planning activity and processing performance. These include:
- The coronavirus pandemic, with varying restrictions in place until February 2022.
- The accessibility of the system for some users during January and February 2022.
- A significant change in IT planning systems, with the development and implementation of two new planning systems in June and December 2022.
These factors should be kept in mind when interpreting and making comparisons with other time periods.
