The Council’s governance arrangements are not fully supporting the changes that it wants to bring about through its Sustainable Powys approach. Weaknesses in arrangements include: • limited explanation in the Council’s corporate plan of what Sustainable Powys is and how it aligns to its corporate objectives; • the Council has not kept its constitution updated in a timely manner; • forward work programmes for committees are not comprehensive; • committee reports are often published late; • reports on proposed service changes and their impacts are not always clearly set out or fully demonstrate the application of the Sustainable Powys approach; • reports are not always provided with enough lead-in time to enable effective scrutiny; and • the information used to monitor progress and assess the impact and outcomes of service changes is limited. The Council has already started to take action to address some of the governance weaknesses identified.
