Highway maintenance has improved, with increased public satisfaction for speed and quality of repair. The number of potholes reported has also reduced.
Fly-tipping has increased, which may be due to a combination of easier reporting, reduced enforcement action and increased disposal fees.
The city continues to have low rates of recycling for household waste and the recent growth in volume has seen a greater proportion sent to the waste-to-energy incinerator or to landfill.
Crime rates have gone up in the city, as has happened across the region. However, the city continues to have lower crime rates than Birmingham and Wolverhampton and the rate of increase has been lower than these areas.
There has been a decrease in the number of repeat incidents of domestic violence, suggesting that the support provided by the police and partner agencies and the management of repeat offenders is having an impact.
Coventry’s schools have made good progress, with primary schools being better than average and secondary schools having closed much of the gap and are more similar to comparator areas but there remain challenges to reach our target of being at or above the national average.
Healthy life expectancy is increasing. More adults are physically active. However, there are still challenges around levels of smoking and increasing rates of child obesity.
Children’s social care have seen fewer re-referrals and fewer children re-entering care. The recent Ofsted inspection highlighted the progress made, moving from ‘inadequate’ to ‘requires improvement’.
More adults using social care are receiving self-directed support and more people are receiving direct payments. Additionally, the number of regulated services rated as inadequate has reduced and more adult social care service users feel the service makes them feel safe.
