Council Performance
Reviewing Services
Although the Council is not required to
undertake Best Value studies the principle of applying the 4’s,
compare, challenge, consult and compete still do provide a useful
framework for reviews. The links below provide access to
the review reports for each of the reviews.
In 2007/08 three studies were
undertaken on:
CCTV (scoping
report, options
report);
Concessionary Fares (scoping
report, options
report); and
Grants to Outside Bodies (scoping
report, options
report).
In March 2008, the Cabinet considered
an initial report on an approach to Best Value Reviews for
2008-11. The next step is for more detailed scoping reports
to be considered by Cabinet in May 2008.
The Council is not required to be
re-inspected provided that the Council’s Use of Resources
results and other inspection outcomes remain steady and direction
of travel is upwards. From April 2009 a new assessment framework,
Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA), is being
introduced. This link takes you to the Audit
Commission's pages on the introduction of CAA http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/cpa/cpatransition.asp
