The leader of Northumberland County Council has said the council is a far better place to be following the implication of many of the recommendations in the damning Max Caller report.
The governance review, published last summer, found a range of issues at the council and recommended changes across the board in order to improve the service provided to residents.
Coun Glen Sanderson was introducing the council's response to the report of the challenge board, which was set up as a "critical friend" following the publication of the Caller report to ensure proper progress was made in implementing the reports numerous recommendations.
