Building on the success of the Waste Services Benchmark, a Streetscene and Open Space benchmark has been launched by the Waste Improvement Network (WIN) and the Association for Public Sector Excellence (APSE). The Streetscene and Open Space Benchmark is a national service, available for free to all local authorities across England. It will allow councils to identify areas for improvement through self-assessment, leading to an improved service for residents and increased efficiencies for the authority. The framework includes services relevant to street scene and open space and uses a continuum, from basic to excellent, against which councils can assess their own performance. It has been developed by a range of local authorities and national organisations including the WIN and APSE.
