The Accounts Commission has today (Thurs) published the findings of the Controller of Audit’s Best Value Assurance Report on Shetland Islands Council.
Councillor Emma Macdonald, Leader: “We have already been working to address some of the issues which are highlighted, and our members and officers will now focus on developing an improvement plan, taking into account all the points raised in the audit.
“I am pleased to see that the Commission has recognised how well our services perform, and that we have among the highest service satisfaction scores in the country.
“As the summer recess ends, councillors and officers will be focussing on the challenges immediately facing the Council and our community – around the cost of living, energy costs, connectivity and financial planning for the future – and look forward to demonstrating to the Commission the progress we make on our improvement plan over the next 18 months.”
