The Council undertook a Corporate Peer Challenge (also known as a ‘peer review’) in early December 2023, with a focus on whether the Council has the right balance of risk on its approach to income generation; and how prepared and what the council can learn from other places with significant infrastructure plant/power stations such as Sizewell and Hinkley.
In addition, the review also examined the five core elements that underpin every Council’s Corporate Peer Challenge:
- Local priorities and outcomes
- Organisational and place leadership
- Governance and culture
- Financial planning and management
- Capacity for improvement.
Final report
As part of the process, the Council is publishing the LGA’s Feedback Report.
