Resource plans and progress

Our plans and progress updates show how we are working with partners towards a shared vision to improve the life and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire. 

The Community Plan 2022-2032 makes sure our communities are at the heart of community planning in South Lanarkshire.

The Council Plan 2022-27 explains our values, priorities and outcomes, and sets out what we aim to achieve in support of that vision. Our performance is monitored throughout the year and formally reported to Committees at:

• Quarter 2 (September) – mid‑year update
• Quarter 4 (March) – end‑of‑year update

Annual Performance Spotlights

Our Annual Performance Spotlights (APSs) give residents, communities and customers a clear and accessible summary of how our services are performing. Each Spotlight covers one of the council’s outcomes and includes related:

• case studies
• selection of results
• links to more detailed information

You can view each Spotlight individually on the Annual Performance Spotlights page.

Public Performance Reports

The APSs are supported by our suite of Public Performance Reports.

These short, easy‑to‑read reports summarise performance within key service areas and the corporate functions that help drive improvement across the council.

Resource Plans

Each council Resource prepares a Resource Plan every year. These plans:

• align with the outcomes in the Council Plan
• set out each Resource’s main activities
• highlight the key areas of focus for the year ahead
• include the measures and actions we will use to maintain and improve services

Progress against each Resource Plan is reported at both mid‑year (Quarter 2) and year end (Quarter 4).
