Conclusion
This report has provided just a snapshot of some of our achievements over the last six months. I am extremely proud of our officers and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the innovative and creative solutions they have come up with to ensure that we continue to provide our citizens with the highest quality services while tackling the financial pressures we all find ourselves in.
As a local government body, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is not unique in navigating the financial pressures. Internally, we are conducting several reviews into the way in which we work, to ensure that our services are delivered in a financially responsible and sustainable way.
I have no doubt that there may be further challenges ahead, but I can assure you that the needs of our citizens, communities and businesses, are of the utmost importance to both Council officers and Elected Members.
I would encourage anyone who is keen to hear more about the good work being carried out to follow us on our various social media channels. You can also find out more through our corporate documents, such as our Performance Improvement Plan, Climate and Sustainability Action Plan and Community Plan. These, and many others, can be found on our website.
Thank you,
Valerie Watts
Interim Chief Executive
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council
