Local Code of Corporate Governance

Good governance is about how the Council ensures that it is doing the right things, in the right way and for the benefit of the communities it serves.

It will invariably lead to high standards of management, strong performance, the effective use of resources and good outcomes which in turn will lead to increased public trust.

Our governance framework is recorded in our Local Code of Corporate Governance which is
based on the seven core principles of good practice contained in the CIPFA and SOLACE
‘Delivering Good Governance in Local Government; Framework (2016)’.

The Local Code of Governance illustrates the systems and processes that we have put in
place to ensure good corporate governance and is reviewed at least annually.
