A Best Value Notice has been lifted at the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
The formal warning was first issued in January 2023, after an external auditor raised "significant concerns" about the Combined Authority.
The government issued a revised Best Value Notice in January 2024, again raising concerns, but ministers did recognise progress had been made.
On Monday 9 September 2024, the Combined Authority said it was "extremely pleased" to announce that the Best Value Notice had been lifted.
The government said it was "reassured" that the authority could “comply with its Best Value Duty”.
Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Dr Nik Johnson:
"This is a real pivotal moment for the area. It has only happened by the ability for all the Combined Authority constituent members to work together, the members and the officers of all the organisations come together for the greater good of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and all our communities.
"I’m obviously delighted to have had this news and I’m looking forward, really looking forward, to going forward with all the constituent members and continuing to deliver the good work and all of the kind of ambitions that we have for our area."
