Report by Chief Executive

Consideration was given to the Best Value Assurance Report and subsequent Council Action Plan.

Discussion was had in relation to the need to improve community engagement and the use of performance information to drive improvement.  The Chair asked Audit Scotland whether it would be possible to share sources of good practice from other local authorities who may be able to offer some learning points going forward.  Mr Cornett advised that, while he may not necessarily hold up other Council’s for best practice in this area, he would be happy to share other sources for information purposes. 

Decision:

The Audit and Scrutiny Committee agreed to note the contents of the report and the Council Action Plan.
