1.3 The commentary for each indicator helps ‘Tell Our Story’ and enables Elected
Members to put the performance data into perspective and understand if an issue is
local in nature or should be escalated up to a Strategic Committee. 
1.4 As part of our improvements to performance reporting and making best use of the
digital technology available to us, the information contained in this report is also
available in your online scorecard. If support is required to navigate the online
scorecard please contact lorna.gillies@argyll-bute.gov.uk 
1.5 To improve the response to performance queries, it is requested that should there
be any queries that either the Responsible Person or Kay Owen are contacted.
