Culture change case study“North Shropshire District Council has improved significantly since its last Comprehensive Performance Assessment and is now a good council.

A strong performance culture has been developed.

The Council is well run and well managed. Decision making is timely, transparent and effective, and the whole Council works as a team.”

(Audit Commission 2008)
