Council performance overview

We want to deliver services effectively and within budget, achieving the best outcomes possible for our residents. We compare our performance to other local areas, the country as a whole, and to similar borough councils in England (called Statistical neighbours), where available.

About our performance framework

To help us focus on what matters most, we have five corporate priority work areas:

  • Value for money

  • Better roads and highways

  • Reducing crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB)

  • Cleaner streets

  • Housing that is safe, affordable and warm

which are supported by two enabling foundations:

  • Care - Good quality and safe

  • Vibrant local economy

We want to be transparent about performance and provide open and accessible information. Use this interactive dashboard to see how we’re doing. You can filter the data by the above cross-cutting categories, look at performance in a particular service area, or search for an individual measure. There are a number of Super key performance indicators (SKPIs) and a range of supporting measures. The current Red, Amber or Green (RAG)* rating indicates how we’re performing for each measure in relation to the targets we set, and our historical performance and targets. Red means below target performance, amber means near target performance, and green means at or above target performance.

*The Super KPI’s table RAG rating illustrates our quartile position against comparator groups such as the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and other statistical neighbours e.g. Department for Education (DfE).

More details on our performance can be found at Council performance. Links to the definitions for each indicator can be found using the Definitions button on the Individual indicators page of the dashboard. The different comparator groups can be found on the Comparator groups and data sources page.
