The panel also heard about the Chief Executive's goals for the council, focusing on values, equality, wellbeing, listening, and strategy, alongside an update on workforce challenges and efforts to build resident trust. Finally, the panel reviewed the council's performance in handling complaints and member inquiries, noting a substantial increase in housing-related complaints and a rise in the number of cases reaching the Housing Ombudsman.
