Summary of Performance
The summary of performance table
below shows the latest overall progress against our
Corporate Plan. We recognise that a number of the indicators are
long term and outside of the direct control of the Council, but we
are measuring progress against them because of their importance to
local residents. Where the performance indicator title is in
italics, the Council can directly influence the
outcome. Click on each Key Area of Focus for more

Balanced Scorecard
The Balanced Scorecard is the Council's key means of performance
management.
The purpose of the Balanced Scorecard presentation is to show
the relationship between the intended outcomes of the rporate Plan
with the vital finance, workforce and process measures that will
support their delivery. The indicators have been specifically
designed to reflect the needs of the Council rather than meet
central government requirements, following consultation with a
focus group of residents. The Balanced Scorecard is available at a
Council level, providing the detail that sits behind the table
above, together with the specific scorecards for the Council's main
departments (what we call Directorates).
