REPORT OF THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

 

The Council recently undertook a Corporate Peer Challenge (CPC) between 4 and 7 November 2024, where we were visited by a peer team supported by the Local Government Association. The peer team met with a large number of staff and councillors, as well as external stakeholders such as contractual partners, neighbouring authorities and members of our community. The peer team produced a feedback report, attached at Appendix A, which was reported to Cabinet on 14 January 2025. An Action Plan has now been developed, attached at Appendix B.
