87% like living here

Despite only scoring 2 out 4 for the Use of Resources, 87% of residents believe that West Lindsey is a good place to live.  This is reported in the Audit Commission;s 'One Place' comprehensive assessment of Lincolnshire. The report also comments on how well Marshall's Yard regeneration project was managed. This can only bode well for managing the future regeneration and developing the new neighbourhoods.

On a sour note, it did comment:

"Relationships between staff and Council members at a senior level are

deteriorating. Leading Council members are considering a senior management"

 This is now in hand with a new appointments committee formed to begin the hunt for a new Chief Executive and a change of political leadership too.

Overall, the result is what we expected as a council and gives us plenty of room for improvement, whilst highlighting some significant achievements.
