Minutes:

The Executive considered a report relating to an update on the initial findings of the recent Local Government Association (LGA) Corporate Peer Challenge.

 

The Leader of Council advised that the intention of bringing the report to the Executive at this stage was to appraise Members of the initial findings of the Peer Challenge, which had been a lot of work with the Team meeting over 100 people with 200 hours of discussion.  Headlines from the feedback session highlighted that the Council delivered valuable, well-performing services that produced good outcomes for its residents.   One of the issues highlighted by the Peer Challenge was the Council’s engagement with the public, both by digital and physical means.  The Council wished to work on this area at the earliest opportunity therefore a supplementary estimate of £150,000 was being requested.  Councillor Halsall stated that the LGA’s final report was due early in the new year.

1)              the initial high level findings from the LGA Corporate Peer Challenge that took place in November 2021 be noted;

 

2)              a supplementary estimate of £150,000 to support the delivery of key actions arising from the review be agreed; and
