We are committed to publishing information that helps you judge the performance of your council.
Strategic Plan Performance 2022-2027
Our West Dunbartonshire Strategic Plan (2022-2027) details the vision and values of the Council. In ensuring we support communities to thrive and build on the strengths and resilience of our neighbourhoods, we are committed to leading and delivering dynamic and efficient high quality services. The Strategic plan details the priorities of the Council:
- Priority 1 - Our Communities - Resilient and Thriving
- Priority 2 - Our Environment - A Greener Future
- Priority 3 - Our Economy - Strong and Flourishing
- Priority 4 - Our Council - Inclusive and Adaptable
This approach ensures that we support all residents to fulfil their individual potential and that of their communities and organise our services in the most effective and efficient ways to deliver our long term outcomes.
We have set a range of performance indicators which help us measure our progress in delivering on our ambitions. We are committed to being open and transparent about our progress so that residents and others can easily track our performance and hold us to account. In doing this we will publish regular updates to show how the council is progressing against specific targets. More detail on the performance against each priority area can be found by clicking the links above.

Quarterly Strategic Performance
Quarterly performance reporting against the Strategic Plan 2022-2027
The Council Strategic Plan 2022-2027 was approved in November 2022, with a suite of performance indicators adopted as a performance management framework for the plan. Reporting of progress towards delivery of the Strategic Plan commitments forms a core element of annual Council public performance reporting (PPR).
We recognise that regularly reviewing performance indicator progress, against previous performance and targets, allows us to identify areas for improvement. Where performance data is available throughout the year, we will report progress of these on a quarterly basis and report on the progress of the full suite of performance indicators annually.
You can view the most recently published quarterly performance in a tabular report format.
How We Compare
All 32 councils are measuring a common set of PIs called the Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF). Using the same indicators across all councils allows us to compare our performance so that we can identify best practice, learn from each other, and improve what we do.
