In 2004 it was one of the eight worst councils in the country and was rated ‘Poor’ by the Audit Commission. In 2007, following many months of recovery, the Council was reassessed as a ‘Good’ Council and was the first in the country to make such an impressive improvement in such a short time. The Council is now regarded as an excellent example of good local government, where best practice is encouraged, exceptional value for money is achieved and services to residents are amongst the best in the country.
