Corporate Peer Challenge

Corporate Peer Challenge is a highly valued improvement and assurance tool delivered by the local government sector, for the local government sector, as part of a sector led improvement programme.

It involves a team of senior local government elected Members and officers undertaking a comprehensive review of key finance, performance and governance information, followed by an intensive 3 and a half days onsite visit, to provide robust, strategic, and credible challenge and support.

Our most recent Peer Challenge was undertaken in June 2024. Peers commented on the progress made since the previous Peer Challenge in 2020, congratulating us on our achievements.

A report has now been published highlighting positive feedback and recommendations to further improve Ashfield District Council for its residents and businesses.
