Best Value Performance Plan

Best Value Performance Indicators are set by the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Each year every local authority has to return to the Audit Commission details of all the performance indicators (PIs) they are responsible for collecting. These are reported publicly in an annual Best Value Performance Plan.

The Audit Commission produces an Annual Audit and Inspection Letter, which is a summary of the Commission's assessment of the Council's performance.

Coventry City Council is committed to achieving Best Value in all we do and to making regular reports to you, the Council Tax payer, on how well we are meeting your needs.
