Bedfordshire County Council Comprehensive Performance Assessment
Andrew Selous
2007-02-27
That this House congratulates Bedfordshire County Council on achieving an overall two star rating in its most recent Comprehensive Performance Assessment by the Audit Commission, which judged the Council to be `improving well'; notes that the Council has made significant improvements to its priority services, including the well-being of children and young people, has improved its ranking for adult social care to 29th of 150 councils, has significantly improved recycling and composting rates, is now delivering better value for money and has recorded the second highest increase in customer satisfaction of any county council in last autumn's national survey; and notes that this demonstrates the determination of Bedfordshire County Council to continue the improvement journey which has already taken it from no stars to two stars in two years and that the Council will not be satisfied until its services are among the best in the country and are delivered at the lowest possible cost to the council tax payers of Bedfordshire.
