Council - Thursday, 10 September 2026 - 10.00 am

The Council meeting on Thursday, 10 September 2026, addressed the severe financial pressures facing Worcestershire County Council, with a significant portion of the discussion dedicated to the findings of an external assurance review by CIPFA. This review highlighted critical risks in financial management, sustainability, and service delivery, leading to the acceptance of all 30 recommendations made by CIPFA. The council also approved constitutional changes to align with a new national scheme of delegation for planning decisions, a move met with widespread concern from councillors regarding its impact on local democracy.
