Action plan and progress review
The senior political and managerial leadership of the council should review and reflect on the findings and recommendations from this CPC.
To promote the principle of transparency, it is a requirement of the CPC process that the final report of the peer team is published in-full within three months of the review being completed. In this instance, this requires the report to be published no later than 12 June 2026.
There is a requirement for North Tyneside Council to develop and publish an action plan within five-months of the peer team being onsite, no later than 12 August 2026. This action plan should provide clarity on the activity, milestones, and timelines that the council will work to in responding to the team’s findings.
The action plan will also be central to the peer team’s re-engagement with North Tyneside Council through a progress review which is due to be completed and published by 12 March 2027.
The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) have published the Best Value Standards for Local Authorities. These standards expect every council to engage in a Corporate or Finance Peer Challenge at least every five-years. It is expected that North Tyneside Council would commission their next Corporate Peer Challenge no later than March 2031.
