On 10 May 2018, Tony McArdle and Brian Roberts were appointed by the Secretary of State as Commissioners using his powers in the Local Government Act 1999. Their appointment followed on from the Best Value Inspection by Max Caller which reported significant failings at the authority particularly centring on financial management and scrutiny and governance.
This report, by the Commissioners, sets out what they found at the authority and what measures they took in the first year of their intervention to tackle the problems that the authority was facing.
