Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF)
We assess our performance in providing a wide range of services for the people and communities of North Lanarkshire.
Our performance can also be compared against other similar councils and against the national average.
The Improvement Service has developed a dashboard which can be accessed from the link below. This provides access to all the data that allows you to assess how well we are performing across the range of services noted below.
The dashboard includes an analysis of the results, with some graphs and additional narrative, in order to interpret what the data shows.
