Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: February 18, 2025

Purpose:

Content: That Cabinet note:   a)       the report at Appendix A and its recommendations; and   b)      the formation of a Working Group tasked with forming an action plan to address those findings.   Reasons for Decision:   The LGA team provided a presentation of key findings on the last day of the Peer Challenge and have now followed this up with a full report. It is now important for the Council to examine those findings and produce an action plan on how we will use the recommendations to improve our performance.   Options Considered:   The review could be delegated to the Policy & Performance Improvement Committee, but it is considered appropriate for the Leader of the council to chair the group and for senior Members of Cabinet, Policy & Performance Improvement and Audit & Governance Committees all to be involved. Work streams can be delegated to Policy & Performance Improvement Committee, Audit & Governance Committee and other Council bodies as appropriate.
