Local Government Association Corporate Peer Challenge

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.

What happens next

A review has taken place and was returned on 2 of July. The Progress Revew Report will be added below in due course.

If you have ideas or reflections on the findings, we’d love to hear it.
