Performance and policy

Medway Council is committed to consulting its residents. Democracy is at the heart of the way the council works. Initiatives to consult the community are part of everything the council does.

Medway Council has a set of core values and priorities which it upholds in all the work that it does.

The Council Plan contains the authority’s priorities and the actions that will be taken to deliver them. The council uses a variety of mechanisms to measure progress. Each year, in the Annual Report (published in Medway Matters), the council reviews achievements of the past 12 months.  

How well the council performs is also measured by external bodies such as the Audit Commission.

The Freedom of Information Act also imposes a number of obligations on councils and Medway Council is committed to meeting them. Among the provisions are the public’s right to access the wide range of council information and a requirement to produce schedules detailing what types of information will be available.

Customer First can be your first stop for many council services. It operates local contact points staffed by a team of highly-trained officers who are able to deal with any enquiry, service request or complaint about the services that Medway Council offers.
