Local Government Association Corporate Peer Challenge

The Local Government Association held a corporate peer review at Redbridge Council in 2025.

A corporate peer review is part of the support that the LGA offers to councils. It provides independent and external support and challenge, conducted by a team of councillors and senior officers from other councils.

The 'peer' teams spent significant time within the council to identify and address issues and challenge progress across key themes.

Progress review

In June 2026, the Local Government Association returned to Redbridge to review the council’s progress against the recommendations from the 2025 Corporate Peer Challenge.
The review recognised the council’s commitment to improvement and the progress made in strengthening its organisational foundations, including capacity, financial oversight and the governance of its Modernisation Programme. It also highlighted areas where further work and sustained delivery are needed.  The progress review will help inform the council’s ongoing improvement work and implementation of its Corporate Peer Challenge Action Plan.
