This application presents Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF) data collated from local authorities across Scotland. This data set combines a set of metrics that enables assessment of how well Scottish local authorities are delivering services.
Indicators are categorised into indicator service areas, which can be viewed using the 'Indicator Areas' dropdown. Each section contains a series of interactive plots visualising each indicator and, if applicable, values used to derive this indicator.

Indicator data for a selected local authority is visualised as a series of interactive line plots. Data are stratified into categories; 'Performance' 'Financial' and 'Satisfaction', which are displayed in independent boxes. Each box contains a menu allowing navigation between different indicator data sets.
The LGBF describes the process of how these metrics have been developed and how councils have been organised into 'family groups'. This essentially means that similar councils in terms of levels of deprivation and population are compared to each other. Indicator data is visualised as a series of interactive plots and tables showing the indicator value for a selected local authority alongside the indicator value summarisied by council family group and nationally across Scotland. The values used to derive the indicator metric, if applicable, are also presented.

I am a data scientist and software developer with a background in bioinformatics and public audit. I have always had a keen interest in how tools such as Shiny can help visualise complex data sets. The aim of the LGBFScotland was to create a tool for visualising local government benchmarking framework data. A secondary aim was to provde a platform for my own personal development in creating, maintaining and deploying public Python Shiny applications.
I hope you find this application useful. Please feel free to connect with me on linkedin and view my personal website which has a copy of my CV and a list of other projects I have worked on.
LGBFScotland is structured as uv python package hosted on GitHub. This application is deployed using the Azure container app platform which uses a docker container that is published on docker.io.
All data used in this application is available from the Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF) . Specifically the 'LGBF indicators information' and 'LGBF Data Table Real' data sets were downloaded from the Spatial Hub .
