The chart and table below show the council's performance on the Carbon Index. Each authority is ranked in terms of the CO2 eq saving per head of population. Authorities are then grouped as follows:
- High Flyers - the top 10%
- Good Performers - the next 30%,
- Mid Performers - the next 30%, and
- Low Performers - the bottom 30%
We also use standard Office for National Statistics groupings to allow similar authorities to be easily compared. The graph shows the range between the top and bottom performing authorities within your selected council's group.
