Floor Targets Interactive

DescriptionThis web site is run by the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit (NRU) within the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and is used for monitoring progress towards the Government's Public Service Agreement (PSA) Floor Targets generated by the 2002 and 2004 Spending Reviews.

It allows users to track performance on equivalent indicators at local authority district level, with the focus on the local authority districts that benefit from the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF). Users can interrogate the data to produce their own analyses and maps.

Time series are presented from 1997 (where available) up to the latest available year.
