Using the benchmarking information comparing NNDC
performance to our CIPFA nearest neighbours will provide a valuable insight into the
Council’s performance in the context of the performance of
similar local authorities. Using the contextual measure
information, which covers a wide range of social-economic
indicators, will allow a broad assessment of the health and climate
of North Norfolk. Monitoring the trends over time and in comparison
to North Norfolk’s CIPFA Nearest Neighbours; the East of England Districts; and the
England Districts, will provide a detailed insight of each measures
and will be a useful facilitator for any resulting recommended
actions that may be required.
