<strong>Selby</strong> Leisure Services – Annual Review Report, September 2011<br />
1.0 Introduction<br />
As we approach the end of year two of a ten year partnership with <strong>Selby</strong> <strong>District</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong>, it is critical that we review our performance year on year to identify<br />
achievements and areas of success, but also review and agree elements of the contract<br />
where more focus is needed.<br />
Prior to commencement of the contract, we were clearly focused on making a positive<br />
impact in <strong>Selby</strong> and were committed to:<br />
• Improving the quality of sport, leisure and culture provision for people throughout<br />
the <strong>District</strong><br />
• Meeting the needs of children and young people<br />
• Encouraging healthier communities<br />
• Supporting the Health Improvement Programme through sports development<br />
• Improving facilities for older people<br />
• Increasing awareness and participation in sport<br />
• Reducing the effects of social exclusion and develop more inclusive communities<br />
• Development of the sport and cultural strategy<br />
When drafting the report, we recognise that <strong>Selby</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is going through a<br />
significant period of change. We are mindful that the strategic plans and priorities of the<br />
<strong>Council</strong> have changed. Accordingly, we must ensure that we align our future plans and<br />
aspirations with those of the <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
2.0 <strong>Selby</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s Strategic Themes and Priorities 2011 – 15<br />
We appreciate that for the forthcoming year through to 2015, <strong>Selby</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> are<br />
looking to focus on 5 ‘Big Things’:<br />
• Changing Places<br />
• Living Well<br />
• Stronger <strong>Council</strong><br />
• Tackling the tough stuff<br />
• Being switched on<br />
In order to contribute fully to <strong>Selby</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s key themes, we will outline our<br />
wider strategic objectives and key priorities for the coming year within this annual review<br />
plan. We will clearly demonstrate how we will contribute to the achievement of the<br />
<strong>Council</strong>’s themes with particular emphasis on ‘Living Well’.<br />
In section 3.0 of the report, we will firstly identify how we have performed throughout<br />
2010/11 against a number of key indicators. In the latter part of the report, we shall<br />
outline our aspirations for 2011 – 2014 and also plan objectives for the next 12 months<br />
(2011/12).<br />
