COULD DO BETTERKent County Council has received the results of its 2007 Comprehensive Performance Assessment, which make it clear the Council could do better. Labour Shadow Leader of KCC Mike Eddy said: “Although the current Conservative administration at County Hall have issued a press release saying the Council has received ‘the highest possible rating for a local authority’, they’ve ignored the fact that the Council’s scores have gone down in two areas of service. “Last year, KCC received the top ratings for Culture and for Environment but this year they’ve been taken down a notch in each category, from a score of four to a score of three. That’s hardly surprising when you consider the Conservatives made cuts to Libraries in the current year’s County Council Budget and also de-registered a museum in 2007. And they’re only just getting round to working out the carbon footprint of the Council’s own buildings.“Kent Labour know that there’s a lot of excellent work being done by KCC’s frontline staff and we appreciate what they do. That’s why we think it’s a shame for them, and the people of Kent, that the Council’s ratings have dropped in these two service areas of Culture and Environment. “The truth is, KCC’s frontline staff and all the people of Kent are being let down by the Conservatives at County Hall”.
