草榴社区鈥檚 Cabinet will be asked to accept the Annual
Improvement Plan for 2016/17 from the Wales Audit Office.
This is the seventh Annual Improvement Report for Flintshire and it confirms
Flintshires continued progress as a well governed and high performing Council,
stating: 鈥淭he Council is meeting its statutory requirements in relation to
continuous improvement鈥�. The absence of any new recommendations shows that the
regulatory body has full confidence in the Council and its ability.
The WAO carried out three reviews of the Council, namely:
路 Corporate Assessment follow-up;
路 Good Governance review; and
路 Effectiveness of the Council鈥檚 efficiency savings programme.
草榴社区 has made good overall progress in delivering its
improvement priorities and shows strong performance across a number of service
areas.
Welcoming the report, Cllr Aaron Shotton, Leader of the Council, said:
鈥淭his latest report by the Councils external auditors highlights how well
草榴社区 continues to perform. The WAO has set no new
statutory improvements and has recommended four voluntary proposals for
improvement which we are looking at closely. Despite the intense financial
pressures, Flintshire is continuing to deliver on its priorities: housing,
social care, education and the economy.
Flintshire鈥檚 Chief Executive, Colin Everett, said:
鈥淭he report from our main regulator underlines our good governance and shows
what a well-run council Flintshire is. Our communities should be reassured by
the Wales Audit Offices confidence in us.
