Traffic light sequence 2010-11 whole council

So far this week you have seen the quarterly performance reports for the whole council and a sorry set of charts it has been. What Mr Mustard has done, and which he doubts that anyone at the council bothers to do, is to put the four quarterly reports together. Here they are:-

CPI		Q1 10/11	Q2 10/11	Q3 10/11	Q4 10/11
	Item	Sharing opportunities & responsibilities ?
1	Social budgets
4	Kids results				????????
7	Early years				????????
19	Waste %
27	Private rehousing
		Better services with less money ?
2	OAP independent
8	Foster care
9	Children in care
10	Contract management
11	Formal contracts %
12	Rental voids
13	Scrutiny decisions
14	Scrutiny policy
15	Publication scheme
16	Participation
17	Value For Money
18	Customer service
25	Temp accom
26	Homeless
28	Regulation
		Successful London Suburb ?
3	Volunteers
5	Ofsted good			????????	?????????
6	5 GCSE
20	Local area satisfaction
21	Crime
22	Road repair
23	Extra family homes
24	Extra homes

What do we notice from this summary ? 

A lot of red. 

That some indicators just disappear ( like 4 & 7 ) Is there a good reason. Shouldn't there be some consistency from one quarter to the next if the accusation that statistics are being fiddled is not to be made. 

That waste, private rehousing, foster care, temporary accommodation, homeless people, and volunteers supporting adult social services objectives have all been a problem for most or all of the year and have not been tackled ( or if they have been tackled, then not very well ). 

Wouldn't fixing these put the community first and make for a successful London suburb?   

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard
