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

????????
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

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
