We want to build sustainable and resilient communities that support the well-being of current and future generations. This vision is at the heart of everything we do to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Monmouthshire.
We are striving to deliver high quality services that meet the needs of local people and businesses, to help us achieve this we set objectives and targets, taking account of the things that matter to people. We are also a member of the Public Services Board (PSB) in Monmouthshire where we work with public sector partners to improve well-being in the county.

Self-Assessment Report 2023/2024
Our annual self-assessment report provides an assessment of how well we are meeting the objectives we have set in our Community and Corporate Plan. Our latest self-assessment report looks back at performance during 2023/24, and asks the questions, how well are we doing; how do we know; and what and how can we do better? The assessment looks at the six well-being objectives of the Council, and the ‘what we want to achieve’ statements that sit underneath them. The report also assesses the effectiveness of our ‘enabling functions’, i.e. the areas that support council services to meet changing demands and ensure their sustainability.

Performance Measures:
The council is responsible for a range of services. We monitor how well we are performing throughout the year as we strive to maintain standards and, where resources allow, deliver improvement. Our select committees scrutinise performance of a range of services throughout the year and our plans contain a large number of measures we use to monitor performance.

Audit and Regulation
As well as monitoring our own performance, we are also reviewed every year by the Wales Audit Office. We use their assessments to help us focus on the things we need to improve across the council. They produce an annual improvement report, which reports on how well we are delivering our services, and how we have improved since the previous year. Reports can be read at www.wao.gov.uk
