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
