Details

The seventh commissioners’ report sets out the good progress made so far to put the council in good shape pending the restructure. The report acknowledges the need to meet the 1 November deadline for the establishment of a Children’s Trust, but notes the support of key players. Subsequently, the Trust was established on timetable.

Subject to that concern, the commissioners take the view that the council is on track for its restructure which will coincide with the end of the intervention.
