– Most now have a better understanding of why we need to measure
– Managers and front line employees both have an interest in performance management

removal of litter, detritus and graffiti

We are improving our grading for the removal of dog fouling through robust
cross-departmental working to identify hot spots for enforcement and cleaning

We have made real improvements dealing with reported fly-tipping
• We now consistently have over 91% of all fly tips removed within 3 working days
• Through improved enforcement we have been able to increase the number of FPNs issued and also successfully prosecute offenders
• The end result is less of this on our beautiful landscape!

Gully Cleansing

• Red (x2 pa) Amber (x4 pa) Green (1/24)• This robust and logical routine has now been
implemented • The pragmatic approach combined with
improved performance management has paid dividends

Where we were
• We had a poor understanding of the extent of the problem
• Accurate data reporting systems showed us our problem was much bigger than we thought
• Robust reporting and management of performance means we now know exactly where we are
![Page 25: The Northumberland Journey: Meeting business planning ... Nicholson... · Northumberland beautiful for residents and tourists. • Encourage more people to report environmental problems](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053019/5f24b84888584f4c4358fb76/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Where we are now• An understanding of the real issues and
improved working practices have enabled us to tackle the problem at source
• Following significant investment the repair of potholes has greatly improved the safety of our roads in Northumberland
• Hopefully this will also reduce the number of insurance claims in the future
• We have the added benefit of a visible potholeometer on our website!
