The outcomes framework will detail a range of broad performance indicators for the sector, covering everything from health and housing to economic growth and public safety – but The MJ understands it is not intended to create performance league tables.

A long list of mission-led targets moves on from the last Government's attempts to create a performance regime under the Office for Local Government (Oflog), a watchdog that was widely criticised over fears it would name and shame poorly performing councils.
