Video transcript: Renfrewshire Council: Dargavel Village update report, Andrew Burns, Accounts Commission Member
Renfrewshire Council has acted to rebuild the trust of local people and the council now needs to ensure it’s clear about any potential impacts on budgets and local services.
It will cost around 60 million pounds to rectify the failings in providing school accommodation for Dargavel Village and we report on progress made to address issues including leadership, scrutiny and community engagement.
This follows our earlier January report and whilst the council is committed to engaging with communities, it must continue to listen and act on feedback and councillors must be supported to ensure they can fulfil their responsibilities to make decisions, helping avoid the previous failures in leadership and governance.
And we at the Accounts Commission will continue to monitor the council's decisions and actions to address the previous failings at Dargavel.
