Performance and contextual indicators
At the end of quarter 1 2026 to 2027, there were 89 indicators presented, all reported quarterly and none reported annually that are due at quarter 1.
51 indicators are performance indicators1, measured against a target as the output or outcome is within the council’s control.
38 indicators are contextual indicators2, measured against a forecast as the outcome is outside of the council’s control.
All indicators are presented with a red, amber or green (RAG) status which is calculated against target or forecast and in line with agreed tolerance levels. Trends3 versus the previous reporting period are also included for reference.
Of 89 performance indicators reported at quarter 1:
- 76 were reported ‘green’, on track against target or forecast (85%)
- 2 were reported ‘amber’ slightly off target or forecast or target (2%)
- 11 were reported ‘red’ significantly off target or forecast (12%)
Further detail and the reasons for the status and information on the performance indicators and contextual indicators for each of the priorities in the Council Plan is provided under quarterly updates on key performance indicators.
- 1
Performance indicator – result is measured against a target. It is usually related directly to a council service and an indicator of service effectiveness, efficiency and/or success.
- 2
Contextual indicator – result is measured against a forecast. It is usually outcome focussed and often not wholly within the council’s control. Contextual indicators are included as they may impact service delivery, demand and the achievement of wider council goals.
- 3
A trend is included to show if the result is better, worse or the same as the previous reported result. Some indicators are categorised as ‘Plan is best’, meaning that neither a high nor low result is desirable, the aim is to be within a set range of the target or forecast.
