We want to be the best we can be because we are passionate about making a difference in practical and meaningful ways for the community we serve. That’s why in 2022 we invited the National Association of Local Councils and the Local Government Association to undertake a Corporate Peer Challenge. Following various recommendations the Town Council prepared an action plan and has undertaken steps to improve and develop as an organisation. Progress against this action plan and the recommendations has been reviewed and the report is now published.
