Most efficient Council in London

Dear Mr Silverman

I am writing in response to your email below.

The London Borough of Hillingdon does not hold the information you have
requested as the statement is based upon research undertaken by the
Local Government Chronicle who collated information released by all
Councils with their annual council tax bills.

Information in relation to the London Borough of Hillingdons efficiency
savings which was included in our annual council tax bills and upon
which the Local Government Chronicle is available from our website.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I read in the Leader of 24th June a quotation from Hugh
Dunnachie,
Hillingdon's Chief Executive saying:

" We sit at the top of the table as the most efficient council in
London and the eighth best in the country"

However the 2008 Audit Commission’s comprehensive performance
assessments (CPA) of UK council’s published in on 5th March
2009
gives Hillingdon a 2 star rating putting it in the bottom 3 of
the
33 London boroughs. Over the country as a whole 80% of councils
performed better than Hillingdon with 3 and 4 star ratings.

Could you please let me have or direct me to the information on
which Mr Dunnachie based his statement.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Silverman www.hillingdon-watch.org.uk 01895 625770
