With the Council having never been reviewed by the Local Government Association before as Labour always refused to do so, the published report highlights the good start made by the new Conservative council and makes recommendations on how we can make improvements.

Leader of the Council, Cllr Kris Wilson, commented:
“Our focus is that this Council concentrates all its energy on improving lives for people in the Borough, whether they live, work or visit Nuneaton and Bedworth. We are striving to find where we can do better for the residents we serve.
“What this report demonstrates is that the new administration has hit the ground running and is getting on with the job of improving Nuneaton and Bedworth. The report clearly highlights that we have the vision, ambition and aspiration to make a difference and that we are committed to delivering.
“We will stand up for the Nuneaton and Bedworth community locally, regionally and nationally, and ensure our own services are the best they can be. This review is an important step in identifying areas for improvement, as well as existing good practice we can build upon.
“We have learned a lot from working with the review team, and value the time and input that everyone has given to this process.
“Now we look forward to getting to work on the recommendations they have brought us. I want people to be clear that we will continue our mission to unlock our Borough’s potential.”
