Bernie, it's not so much what the audit commission look at, more what they don't look at.
The audit commission only looked at a couple of areas of council activity. A council can be quite good in some areas, and not so good in other areas.
What they don't do also is talk to people who receive council services,the Public.
If the council tax payers of this Borough think they are getting an excellent service from the council then fine. I would more than willing to recognise this council as an excellent performing council.
But I'm far from convinsed that's the case.
