The Director of Finance presented the Audit Commission report on Access to Services, following the inspection undertaken in September 2008.

The inspection had assessed Wirral Council (on a scale of zero to three stars) as providing “good, two star access to services that had promising prospects for improvement … because of its impact on improving and providing access to services to meet the needs of the Borough’s diverse communities – one of the Council’s aims.”

The Cabinet Member for Community and Customer Engagement welcomed the report and thanked staff for their contribution.

Resolved: - That the report be noted.
