How we measure our performance against key priorities.
Performance progress
Performance data is available via a performance dashboard, with a user guide within the guidance section:
Formal performance reports are produced every 3 months and reported publicly to each of the 8 Policy Committees.
The latest published overall report is Q3 2024 to 2025 Performance report as reported to Strategy and Resources Committee in March 2025.
Corporate Strategy and Business Plans
The Bristol City Council Corporate Strategy 2022 to 2027 sets out our contribution to the city and our key priorities over five years.
In addition, each year we publish a Business Plan to outline our priority actions during this financial year, and how we will measure our progress.
These documents are on the Corporate Strategy page.
