Paul Scully – 2022 Comments on Expansion of Commissioner Power at Slough Borough Council

The comments made by Paul Scully, the Local Government Minister, on 1 September 2022.

The people of Slough deserve a council that can deliver for their needs and drive long-lasting improvements and a brighter future.

Given the scale of the challenges set out in the Commissioners report, I am granting further powers to Commissioners to help implement much-needed changes.

I am confident that these expanded powers will support the Council so they can drive forward long-term change and protect hardworking taxpayers.
