The Directions return 5 functions to the council to exercise. These are performance management, waste collection, human resources, asset management and community safety.

An accompanying explanatory memorandum sets out the circumstances in which these Directions have been made, the reasons for exercising these powers and the implications of the Directions for the authority.

Also attached are the representations the Secretary of State received from the authority and a local resident which are referenced in the explanatory memorandum.
