Council Performance

Our performance dashboard is interactive allowing you to view current performance (15 super key measures, 5 for each priority, plus the supporting measures) but also how we compare our progress over time, and against others.

We have published this plan at a crucial time in Calderdale’s story. The year 2024 is the borough’s 50th birthday, our Year of Culture, the culmination of our Vision 2024 for Calderdale, and the start of our journey towards a new 10-year aspiration, Vision 2034.

The Local Outcomes Framework aims to strengthen the way government supports and holds councils to account for improving outcomes for their areas. This link explains the Framework in more detail including how it was designed and how it will be used, setting out the 16 priority outcomes and underlying metrics, and the principles for government and local government use of the Framework.
