Our performance in 2005/06

Our performance trend

Six years ago, despite charging the most expensive council tax, Liverpool City Council ranked in the bottom 3 in the quality of services provided to its residents. Since then we have made great efforts to improve both the quality and cost of our services. 

We have increased the number of top performing services from 7% to 27%. However, at the end of 2005/06, 56% of our indicators still performed below a rising national average. We continue to improve, but our recent rate of improvement compared to similar councils has slowed a little, so we are not overtaking them as we aimed. 

Going forward we need to refocus our efforts to reach our goal of becoming a top performing council.  For 2006/07, we aim to further reduce the number of poor performing peformance indicators (i.e. bottom quartile nationally), whilst increasing the number we have in the top performing band.
