Areas of achievement
Looking back to 2010-11, our areas of achievement included:
Care of adults and children
- Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessed the authority's adult social care services as 'excellent' and in the top 10 councils for its customer care
- Signficant improvement was recognised by an Ofsted re-inspection of Children's Services
- School attainment rates continued to rise in all age groups and fewer pupils were permanently excluded
- More vulnerable people were supported to maintain independent living.
Local community and environment
- The county reused, recycled and composted more household waste and reduced the amount sent to landfill. A new recycling centre was opened in Newark
- The Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) (website: www.d2n2lep.org/) was established, which will be responsible for driving economic development and investment in private sector growth and jobs across the region
- More people were satisfied with libraries, with a new state-of-the-art library opened at Worksop.
Transport improvements
- The transport network continued to improve, with reduced average road journey time during the morning peak, decreased bus waiting times, and improved condition of roads managed by the authority.
- The country's first pocket park and ride site was opened at Cotgrave.
Crime reduction
- Rates of acquisitive crime fell in the three key areas of Ashfield, Bassetlaw and Mansfield and there were fewer repeat incidents of domestic violence.
