The latest stats for Local Authority Performance 2013 -14 have just been published by the Welsh Governmet and like the recent traffic light bandings for education; red, amber and green are used to denote top middle or bottom ranking.
The report can be found here in full and covers various services as key pointers to provide overall comparison. Carmarthenshire council hasn't done very well. Out of nineteen 'markers', six are in the red, nine are in the average amber and only a paltry four merit a green badge.
If matters of governance and undemocratic and unlawful behaviour had been included, the council would have gone off the scale...
Before the council's Ministry of Spin get hold of the data, it's worth mentioning the six which appear in the red, the figures are the position of Carmarthenshire Council out of the 22 local authorities;
Delayed transfer of care for social care reasons; 18th
Looked after young people with three or more placements; 20th
Secondary school attendance; 20th
Delivery of Affordable housing units - 21st
Days to deliver disability grants; 20th
