The Comprehensive Performance Assessment system should be abolished, the chair of the Local Government Association said today at the opening of the LGA’s annual conference, writes Amy Taylor from the conference in Harrogate.
Sandy Bruce-Lockhart told delegates at Harrogate that the CPA system should be ended by 2008 and be replaced by local government ‘peer improvement programmes’.
Bruce-Lockhart added that while he supported the CPA new methodology, he “had a problem” with a system that said that there were too many excellent and good councils and “seek to relegate them”.
Bruce-Lockhart concluded that it was “absolutely
essential” that the government stood by its commitment to
rebalance local government finance.
