We have an excellent and continuously improving education service. Our housing service is well equipped to meet the challenges of new legislation as identified in the recent positive inspection report.

Year on year improvements have been achieved through the efforts of our forward thinking Council. With progressive Partnership at Work arrangements in place involving Officers, Elected Members and Trades Unions; we continue to develop services through innovation, commitment and community engagement.
