“The 2022/23 Annual Performance Report is testament to the hard work and dedication of our workforce.  

As services move to business as usual following the global pandemic, we continue to make good progress against our Council Priorities and services continue to serve our local communities well. 

I am pleased that throughout a challenging financial year and a period of recovery from the Covid pandemic we have performed well.
