Waverley Borough Council - Audit Commission reports

Audit Commission Report

The Government has placed a duty of local councils to deliver services to clear standards – of cost and quality – by the most economic, efficient and effective means available.

The Audit Commission assesses the performance of councils and the services that they provide for local people.

Their assessment helps councils to focus on improvement. The assessment comprises evidence from other external review bodies plus the Commission's judgements.

The way that Waverley Borough Council is run and the delivery of services has been assessed as good
(on the scale excellent/good/fair/weak/poor).

An extract from this letter:

The cost of waste collection is high, among the most expensive 25 per cent of councils in 2004/05. However, the new contract has been designed to address this and further improve recycling. The Council commenced an Enforced Waste minimisation campaign in September 2004 with Phase 2 instigated in 2005. It is moving to a system of alternate weekly collection of recyclable and residual waste as part of its new contract, to further improve recycling rates in the borough.
