Public Performance Reporting

South Ayrshire Performs

If you are looking to find out more about how the Council and the Community Planning Partnership are performing, this page should help you. It is based around the Council’s Public Performance Reporting Strategy, which signposts you to the information that you need, when you need it.

South Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership

The main performance report for the Partnership is against our Single Outcome Agreement, which is reported upon once a year. This report is prepared in line with Scottish Government requirements, reflecting how the partners have worked together to deliver a range of outcomes, that will improve the quality of life for people in South Ayrshire. A summary is provided in a special edition of the Partnership newsletter ‘Bitesize’.

South Ayrshire Council

The Leadership Panel Annual Report provides an overview of the Council’s achievements over the last year. They are described by the seven Councillors (Portfolio Carriers) who take the leading role for defined aspects of the Council’s responsibilities. If you want to know more about the Council’s progress against its Corporate Plan, you can also view the reports that go to our three Standing Scrutiny Panels every six months.

Council Services

The South Ayrshire Calendar describes the Council’s services, explaining what they do, how they are performing and where further information can be obtained. Each year we feature 12 services, so that the majority are covered over a two year period. Those featured in 2010 and 2011 can be seen on this page. Just click on them to see the performance we reported. Our 2012 Calendar will be available in December 2011. Pick up a copy from any of our offices, libraries and leisure facilities or we can post you a copy if you contact Customer Services.

Council Performance

The 24 services from the calendar also feature in the Council’s annual performance report, which includes over 140 measures used to judge performance. The report can be found on this page and is available in hard copy through our libraries. If you want to know more, you can also view the report that the Leadership Panel considers which give details of targets we are working to and explanations of the performance achieved.

Directorate and Service Reports

These provide more detail about specific aspects of the Council’s services. A number of those currently available are featured on this page. More information can also be found throughout the website as part of individual service and topic pages.

Engagement Events

Performance reporting is not just about producing reports. It is also about talking with the people of South Ayrshire and getting their views on how they see our performance, and how they think that we and our partners might tackle the issues that are of concern to them in a better or different way. Some recent examples are featured on this page.

We are always keen to receive comments and suggestions on our approach to Public Performance Reporting, to ensure that it is relevant and effective. If you have any views, please contact:
