Balanced Scorecard

What it means for citizens of Barking and Dagenham

Outcomes

The 7 community priorities, which set the context for all the actions of the council, were developed in conjunction with local residents, businesses, groups and organisations living in the borough.

They are based on the main concerns that were highlighted throughout the consultation, and set out how Barking and Dagenham plans to improve the borough for everyone who lives, works or visits here.

They form the Community First element of the council scorecard and ensure that the service scorecards contribute to the overall delivery of these priorities. The actions taken against these objectives will deliver results for local people, including:

A reduction in the under 18 conception rates
An increase in the average income ranking of Barking and Dagenham citizens
An increase in residents feeling safer in the borough
A reduction in the number of deaths from heart disease
A reduction in the number of deaths from cancer
An increase in residents' positive perception of the borough and its' appearance
An increase in the number of homes that meet the decency standard
An increase in educational attainment
An increase in performance for all services
