<p>This review provides further evidence in support of the decision taken in October
to intervene in Birmingham City Council, appointing Commissioners with powers over
certain Council functions and issuing Directions that require the Council to take
specific actions to the satisfaction of Commissioners. Commissioners will ensure the
improvement actions recommended by the review are appropriately incorporated into
the Council’s Improvement and Recovery Plan. The review findings are broadly consistent
with the lessons about local authority culture and governance we have learned from
statutory and non-statutory interventions, and which informed the draft Best Value
Statutory Guidance we consulted on last summer and will issue in due course.</p>
