Salford City Council retains its three out of four star rating from inspectors from the Audit Commission
The government’s independent inspectors have published the results of their latest review of the council’s overall performance. They have given Salford City Council three out of four stars for its overall ability to improve the lives of its residents and announced that services are “improving adequately”.
The Audit Commission published their report on 22 February 2007. The report highlights Salford City Council’s can-do attitude and recognises progress made which will improve the lives of local people.
The assessment states:“The council is making good progress in most priority areas, but this is not matched by solid improvement in all services. Environmental and cultural services show scope for improvement in some areas. However, performance in housing services has improved.
"By working effectively with its partners the council is making an effective contribution to wider community outcomes. Good improvement is being made in regenerating the local economy, and the number of 16-18 year olds in training, education or employment is increasing. Independence for older people is well promoted and is improving. Improvements in the levels of educational attainment and school attendance are being sustained albeit from a low base, and the gap between best and worst performing schools is narrowing. Performance in benefits administration declined this year, but prospects for regaining the previous level of achievement are promising. User satisfaction with council services generally is mixed. The council has improved the way it works, is well managed, and has good capacity to deliver its future improvement plans."
