Congratulations to Camden

The Liberal Democrat-led administration has just had the piece of good news that it:

has become the first English council to achieve top marks from the local authority watchdog.

Audit Commission inspectors praised the council’s responsiveness and the strong leadership of its councillors and officers, who it said have displayed “excellent” understanding of the social, economic and environmental challenges facing the borough’s communities.

The Audit Commission’s assessment rules are not without their problems and controversies (particularly over the relative importance given to financial issues) but in this case it seems a fair representation of the many good things the administration has been doing.
