Foreword

Welcome to our Performance Self-Assessment Report for 2024/25.

As a council, it is our duty to work in better ways to improve the quality of life and environment of our ratepayers and communities, and we have a framework in place to help us achieve this.

This framework aligns the priorities of the Community Plan for Mid and East Antrim with our own strategic and operational plans.  

As I look back on the past year, I am incredibly proud of the collective efforts made by our officers and our partners.

While we may not have achieved everything we set out to, I am confident that you can see the positive impact we have had right across the borough.

As we move into another year, addressing the needs of Mid and East Antrim remains our top priority, and we are committed to working with our citizens and other stakeholders to ensure a prosperous and sustainable borough for the generations to come.

Valerie Watts

Interim Chief Executive
