The report from the Audit Commission highlights all the areas where the Council has made progress but areas for improvement were identified around community safety and diversity. The Council is now working to address the recommendations of the inspectors.
Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA)
On 1 April 2009, CPA was replaced by a new area based performance framework, Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA). To find out more please refer to the CAA website pages.
