Purpose of Report

To seek approval from the Executive on the updated Lincoln City Profile for 2021/22 in advance of it being published on the City of Lincoln Council’s website and being shared with external partners.

Decision

(1)  That the findings of the Lincoln City Profile – 2021/22, as detailed at Appendix A to the report, be noted.

(2)  That the Lincoln City Profile – 2021/22 be approved for publication.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

None.

Reasons for the Decision

The Lincoln City Profile 2021/22 was the updated version of the previous years’ profile, which encompassed a breadth of information, and focused on key demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of, and challenges to, the city of Lincoln.  In doing this, it acted as the evidence base behind the continued development and implementation of City of Lincoln Council’s Vision 2025 strategic priorities. 

The profile included a significant level of trended data to allow visibility of progress over time.  In addition, the inclusion of the CIPFA nearest neighbour and the Police Most Similar Group comparisons were included where data was available and appropriate.
