Best Practice reflecting the principles of corporate governance

Through carrying out its general and specific duties and responsibilities and its ability to exert wider influence, the Council will:

• Work for and with its communities
• Exercise leadership in the local community, where appropriate
• Undertake an “ambassadorial” role to promote the wellbeing of the area, where appropriate, through maintaining effective arrangements:
  • For explicit accountability to stakeholders for the Council’s performance and its effectiveness in the delivery of services and sustainable use of resource
  • That demonstrate integrity in its dealings in building effective relationships and partnerships with other public agencies and the private/voluntary sectors and openness in all its dealings
  • That demonstrate inclusivity by communicating and engaging with all sections of the community to encourage active participation
  • That develop and articulate a clear and up-to-date vision and corporate strategy in response to community needs
