Councillor Willmott submitted a report seeking approval to the outcome of the fundamental challenge stage of the Best Value review process for three Best Value Reviews; 'Services to Vulnerable Children'; 'Libraries'; and 'Financial Management Services'. 

Councillor Willmott proposed that 'Services to Vulnerable Children' and four specific areas of the Library Services (library service to education, records office, prison library service and links to higher education) now undergo a full service assessment and that the remainder of the library service and 'Financial Management Services' did not require further review, although specific areas of improvement had been identified.

RESOLVED:

(1)that the outcomes of the fundamental challenge stage for each review be noted;

(2)that the recommendations resulting from the reviews be approved; and

(3)that the proposed routing for each of the reviews be approved.
