LINK offers support to Councils and Community Planning Partnerships through the on-going process of development of Single Outcome Agreements, particularly in relation to Scotland’s sustainable development commitments and its environment. LINK supports in principle a National Performance Framework with nationally agreed outcomes and indicators and scope for local prioritisation relevant to different Council areas, so long as this is appropriately underpinned with robust guidance, direction and support from national Government.
