Council plan 2022 to 2026

Corporate performance - Quarter 1, 2022 - 23

Newcastle's Cabinet is committed to maintaining a strong corporate culture of performance management. It will publish performance against the following indicators each quarter. These will be available to the Finance and Performance Scrutiny Committee to discuss and challenge performance.

Performance reporting will be enhanced during 2022-23 to provide more trend data where this is available. For some indicators, where performance is largely beyond our direct control, targets are not set. Instead, the 2021-22 out-turn data is used to provide a baseline against which future performance can be assessed. In the tables below such indicators are marked *.
