Performance Management

Best Value

What is Best Value?

The Local Government Act 1999 places a statutory duty on Local Authorities to demonstrate Best Value. To do this the Fire Authority must show that its services meet the needs and address the priorities of the people of County Durham and Darlington in the most efficient, effective and economic way.

The legislation provides a challenging performance framework and requires the Authority to:
  • publish an annual performance plan for our Service - this is included in our Strategic Plan 2005-10 and sets out how we are performing against our targets and the results of any Best Value Reviews;
  • review all of its services; and
  • demonstrate to you that we are achieving continuous improvement in all of our services.

Details of our current review programme and outcomes can be found in our current Strategic Plan 2005-10 and in our Best Value Reviews area.
