What it is
The LGA Corporate Peer Challenge is a review carried out by senior councillors and officers from other councils. It looks at how we lead, plan, manage our finances and work with residents and partners.
What they found
The peer team recognised:
- strong leadership
- sound finances
- outstanding children’s services and adults’ social care
They also found areas where we need to improve. This includes more consistent engagement with residents and stronger ‘one council’ working.
Progress review
A review took place on the 2nd of July 2026. The LGA peer team visited the Council to speak with councillors, staff and residents about progress made on the six recommendations. The peer team were also provided with a written update on the action plan and supporting documents to enable a thorough progress review. The Peer Team’s Progress Review Report can be found below.
