This is Leicester City Council’s seventh Best Value Performance Plan Summary.

The summary is produced every year to give Leicester residents, businesses and community organisations an indication of the council’s performance in delivering services during the past 12 months. This feature presents a snapshot of the work the council has undertaken over the year 2005/06 to improve life within the city. It also contains the results of the council’s third ‘Comprehensive Performance Assessment’ – an overall assessment by Government Inspectors of the council’s performance.
