Reason

Our shared vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole sets out the priorities and ambitions against which the council’s performance will be judged, and as such is a vital component of the council’s performance management framework. An understanding of performance against targets, goals and objectives helps the council to assess and manage service delivery and identify emerging business risks.
