A TEAM of officers has been appointed by Bromsgrove District Council to ensure local residents and visitors to the area get the best value from the local council.

The four-strong team: Barbara Haswell, Isaac Tunji, Elena Greaves and Jane Freeman, will be setting up service reviews to see how well the council is performing.

"A major part of our process is consultation with the community through questionnaires, focus group meetings and our customer panel," said Ms Haswell.

"We have talked and will continue to talk to local residents, their friends and businesses in the area, concerning the whole range of council activities in our bid to give people what they want."
