Corporate Objectives

Monitoring Officer/S.151 Officer Comments

Monitoring Officer:

The Peer Challenge feedback did not identify any areas of concern from a Monitoring Officer perspective.  It did, however, highlight areas for continued development which will need to be progressed as identified in the report.

Deputy S.151 Officer

There are no direct financial implications of this decision and the report highlights the good financial management arrangements and leadership in place.

Any proposals put forward to address the recommendations will need to be either met from within existing approved budgets or will require growth bids for inclusion in the usual budget setting process.
