Council Performance

The Council Performance section explains how well our services perform and how the council will improve services. This includes the way that the council collates, tracks and reports performance, explaining what this means and what action is needed to improve our service performance.

Telling people how our services are performing is important.  It helps the council to demonstrate that we are open and honest with the public.  Also that we are working to improve the value and impact of our services for the people living, working and learning in West Lothian.
