Our Performance

All effective organisations measure their performance in order to know how well they are doing and to identify opportunities for improvement and local government is no exception.

The government requires all councils to collect data on areas such as waste, planning, benefits and housing and one of the ways we monitor how we perform since 2008/09 is through the use of national performance indicators.

Whilst the NIS cover services delivered by local authorities alone and in partnership with other organisations like health services and the police. We also monitor and report on a wide range of performance aspects such as progress against our Council promises, budget, and staff.

We regularly compare our performance against all other district councils. Over the past four years we have demonstrated a continuous improvement.  A significant proportion of our indicators are performing in the top 25% or above average compared to others.

Central Government announced the creation of a Single Data List, following the abolition of the National Indicator Set (NIS) in 2010. This list is still being formalised with the intention of being used from the start of the new financial year on 01 April 2011.

Our quarterly performance is reported in the Signals of Success reports. A more detailed breakdown of our performance is available in our annual reports, appendices to the annual reports and the Overview and Scrutiny Annual Reports
