That the Cabinet:

Formally accepts the report of the Corporate Peer Challenge
(appendix B of report CEX/071).

Reasons for the
Recommendations
 
Corporate Peer Challenge (CPC) is a core plank
of the local government sector’s strategy for improvement.
The programme is run by the Local Government Association and
undertaken by members and officers from other authorities,
sometimes supported by other specialists. It seeks to be both
constructive but also robust. 

As part of undertaking a Corporate Peer
Challenge, the Council is committed to publishing the outcome and
in response to develop and agree an Action Plan. The
recommendations allow the Council to fulfil that commitment.
