Borough Council judged as the best in the country

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir,

We are delighted that the Borough Council's Environmental Health and Planning Departments have been judged the best in England by the Audit Commission. Overall the Council was judged as being the 19th best out of  the 388 Councils in the country. This is a great result for the Borough and   in particular for our staff, who are meeting the needs of a rapidly-expanding and diverse Borough. The improvements introduced by our new administration in 2006 are clearly paying dividends. We cannot rest on our laurels but to be at the very top of this highly competitive league table is any manager’s dream. 

That such a level of performance improvement has been achieved during a period of significant change and uncertainty, brought on by the Local Government Review is remarkable.  Congratulations are due to all  those  who have contributed.

Yours faithfully,

Cllr.Brian Silvester and Cllr Margaret Simon, 

Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council

Crewe& Nantwich Borough Council
