Performance and contextual indicators
During quarter 4, many actions were completed. Where actions remain in progress at the end of the financial year, this is often due to the ongoing nature of the activity. Some actions will continue to be part of the 2025 to 2026 service plans where they remain relevant to the Council Plan. They will be included in the next performance report.
Where actions are not completed and no longer directly related to the Council Plan, these will be reviewed by services and included in local business plans where relevant.
At the end of quarter 4, 13 annual indicators became due for reporting and are included in the report.
The status for both performance and contextual indicators in the Council Plan at the end of the fourth quarter are:
- 78 are green (82%)
- 3 are amber (3%)
- 14 are red (15%)
The result is measured against a forecast.
It is usually outcome focussed and often not fully in the council’s control.
Contextual indicators are included as they may impact service delivery, demand and the achievement of wider council goals.
