Decision

1.           
That the Local Government Association be thanked for
undertaking the Corporate Peer Challenge and that the resulting
Feedback Report (as set out in Appendix 1) be accepted.

 

2.           
That the LGA Corporate Peer Challenge Action Plan
(as set out in Appendix 2) be approved.
 

3.           
That the Audit Committee be requested to monitor the
implementation of the Action Plan.

Reasons for the decision

To make available the
Local Government’s Association Corporate Peer Challenge
Feedback Report and to ensure that an action plan was in place to
embrace the recommendations of the Local Government
Association.

Alternative options considered

An alternative option
would be to not accept the Local Government Associations Corporate
Peer Challenge Feedback Report and resulting action plan –
this was not recommended as implementation of the action plan would
enable the Council to continue to improve. Alternative or
additional actions could be proposed.
