And Tameside MBC gets top marks yet again. For a Oneplace overview on Tameside click here. Tameside may be a Labour run council, but I think its success is directly attributable the wisdom of The Great Leader

Tameside Council has been officially named the best in the country.
The borough recently scooped the coveted Best Achieving Council award at the prestigious Municipal Journal (MJ) Awards last night.
Judges were impressed by Tameside's track record as an "excellent" council - in this year's Comprehensive Performance Assessment it was the only local authority in the north west to receive the top rating of four stars with a judgement of "improving strongly".
They also recognised how Tameside listens to the priorities of local people and continues to deliver high rates of improvement such as in educational attainment and streetscene, and at a faster rate than other councils. Last year the borough attracted record levels of inward investment into the local economy, saw a sharp fall in crime and a ten per cent increase in resident satisfaction as well as above-average employee satisfaction.
The award follows the council recently becoming the first metropolitan borough in the country to achieve a Charter Mark - the Government's standard for customer service.
National recognition of Tameside's success can be attributed to many areas of work across the council including:
Improvements in educational attainment - outstripping national scores in many instances. Key stage 2 results are the third most improved nationally, with record GCSE results achieved for the second year running - a 6% increase on 2004 figures. The sharpest fall in crime across the Greater Manchester region. Crime in Tameside is down by 11.2% compared to a 4.3% increase across Greater Manchester in 2006. Road traffic accidents have continued to fall, a testament to the innovative Tameside Watchman Scheme. The numbers of people killed and seriously injured on our roads has dropped by a third in recent years. Resident satisfaction has risen reflecting improvements in street cleanliness especially in areas of greatest need. The council has won national awards for parks and made major environmental improvements through initiatives such as the In-Bloom competition, in which Tameside received first prize. Innovative and ground breaking approaches to recycling and street cleanliness. Doorstep recycling schemes have increased recycling by more than 100% in the last two years, and a managed-collection trial has produced a 53% recycling rate. thats 10 square mile of paper recycled in one year
Local people continue to benefit from the growth of Tameside's economy. In recent years many new jobs have been created, with a good proportion of these going to people from the poorest neighbourhoods. Average wages and resident skills remain comparably low. Partners know that raising people's skills is important to help them access new jobs.
The response of local partners to the recession was rapid and robust and shows the strength of joint working. Co-ordinated effort across the Council, the Voluntary and Community Sector and other partners is helping to provide direct support to local firms and residents. The recession continues to put more pressure on youngsters, who are finding it hard to get on to the job or training ladder.
Tameside's transport links with Manchester are improving. Extensions to the Metrolink tram network and the long-awaited Ashton bypass will provide a real boost to those travelling to work across and outside the borough.
Cheethams Park Green Flag thank you Labour

Tameside has high-quality parks and open spaces, and a worthy reputation for its floral displays. This is a result of the time and effort that go into making the borough attractive. Residents are increasingly happy with their neighbourhoods as places to live.
Local people's pride in civic amenities continues to grow. Gardening clubs and allotment associations are getting more and more people involved in improving Tameside's appearance. This helps to regenerate areas and tackle issues like anti-social behaviour. Town halls and other public buildings provide excellent community facilities and are also a source of pride.
Recycling of household waste continues to rise. Not only does this help to support a better environment, but it also saves money. Local people help to decide what this money should be spent on. Tameside's streets are clean and getting cleaner. Partners know that this is leading to an increase in residents' pride in their neighbourhood and how safe they feel.
Local public bodies are committed to reducing their environmental impact, and are exploring ways to do this. The Council already has a good record of reducing the energy it uses. The public and local businesses are being encouraged to save energy, but partners know that much remains to be done
Learning Tameside Most children and young people achieve good standards in Tameside's schools. Good performance is achieved overall at primary school, and standards in secondary schools continue to rise. Local schools achieved their best GCSE results in 2009. School results are improving fastest in the worst performing parts of the borough.
School attendance is improving. The Council and its schools want to do even better. They are targeting their efforts on those secondary school pupils who regularly don't turn up for school. They also want to reduce permanent exclusions from school.
The numbers of young people who are not in education, training or employment is fairly low. But, too many young people appear to drop out by the age of 17. By the age of 19, a growing number of young people are getting the equivalent of good GCSE and A-level qualifications.
More adults are getting access to the right courses, and are getting good qualifications. This is helping them to get better jobs and fulfil their potential. There are several organisations in Tameside who help volunteers to move into paid employment.
Anyone stupid enough to believe the above repetition of previous lies and statistical manipulation probably can't read anyway. Anyone else voting for the Party that has led Britain to the brink of economic and financial armageddon must be insane, have a hidden agenda or hate their own country and wish to see it destroyed.
I can understand your shock at this report and understand you wanted to see Tameside Fail which is strange really because it would also affect you. nonetheless the fact still remains that Local Labour have done an amazing Job and that they will continue to do so take a look around yes there are faults and yes there are place of neglect but Rome was not built in a day. And Would you really want to see a Conservative Government back in power....
Well Done Roy and the boys and girls of the Red Army...

No, I would want to see, 'ANYONE BUT LABOUR' back in power. Preferably before the country goes over the financial precipice they have brought us to.
Errr
No mention of the Information Commissioner upholding my Freedom of Information Act complaint I see.
Or the whole local censorship issue.....
Or the docking of wages....
Or (watch this space) the Senior councillor who was a "Global Warming Sceptic" but who is now fully re-educated
