Council boss reports continuous improvement progressDoncaster council has stated that it has seen continuous improvement since the government took a hand in its running.

Chief executive Rob Vincent said there is still some work to be done, but that there were positive signs, reports the Star.

A recent eight-page document released by Mr Vincent - who was brought in after the government audit - praised elected members and officers for their determination to "put things right".

"A lot of good work has been done to get to where we are now," he asserted.

According to the study, there have been particularly encouraging signs of continuous improvement in the Children's Service Improvement Plan, which was one of 11 areas of recovery charted in the report.

This comes after economic secretary to the Treasury Justine Greening unveiled plans to create a more cost-conscious culture among bosses in the UK, stating that it is vital to "get a grip" on public finances. ADNFCR-3058-ID-800371049-ADNFCR
