The Best Value Performance Plan (BVPP) is a document that we as a Council have a statutory duty to produce by the 30 June each year.

• It is a statement of the Council's operational position.
• It tells you what the Council’s Ambition, Direction and Priorities are.
• It tells you how we are linking the Council’s priorities with the need / wants / desires of the residents of Mid Suffolk. This is done through the work of the Local Strategic Partnership and the Community Strategy.
• It tells you about the innovative new ways that the Council is using to provide services and contact with the residents of the District.
• It looks backwards and forwards, reporting on what individual services have undertaken in the last year, and outlining what we are planning to do in the year ahead.
• It tells you about Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), which is the government’s way of monitoring how Council’s perform.
• It tells you:

· How and what monies we receive and how we spend it on your services

· What we are doing to provide better and more effective services

· Who to contact at the Council, or CSD if you have a question

· Who to contact if you have a problem

This Best Value Performance Plan (BVPP) endeavours to summarise the information that we think you would want to know.
