Northumberland County Council has began making changes to its arms-length development company Advance in the wake of the damning Max Caller report on governance at the authority.
The Caller report claimed "arrangements for an effective governance framework by the council are not yet in place" in terms of Advance four years after it was established following the dissolution of its highly controversial predecessor, Arch.
The council's ruling body says work is under way on implementing changes to adhere to the report's recommendations.
