Monitoring strategies
Please note: It is intended that in the near future a monitoring and reporting indicator database will be developed. This will enable lists of indicators to be generated by issue (eg air quality, landscape, transportation, growth and amenity) and by type of authority (eg city, district, region, government department). Watch this space for further details.
