Implications of using the Right to Challenge
If local community groups choose to use the Right to Challenge, there is no guarantee that this will result in improved local service deliver.
Using the Right to Challenge will trigger an open procurement process, where competition to win the bid to run a service can legitimately come from national private sector companies.
Our commitment to Localism
As a Council we are committed to implementing localism that works for our communities - seeing real empowerment at the local level. We have adopted our own unique approach to localising services through our Localisation Model. We are keen to explore localised services with our communities.
