Details
Letter from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government informing local authority chief executives that:
-
the publication date for final, audited, accounts will move from 31 July for Category 1 authorities and 30 September for Category 2 authorities to 30 November 2020 for all local authority bodies
-
to give local authorities more flexibility, the requirement for the public inspection period to include the first 10 working days of June (for Category 1 authorities) and July (for Category 2 authorities) has been removed. Instead local authorities must commence the public inspection period on or before the first working day of September 2020.
The regulations implementing these measures were laid on 7 April and are due to come into force on 30 April 2020.
