At 00.01 hours this morning, the Council was finally allowed to tell everyone the news we'd been required to keep under wraps for weeks - that we are no longer a Poor authority, but a Good one. The inspection result has been a real boost for everyone, and we're celebrating today by providing breakfast for all staff.
It's really good to get together with people from all sorts of council services, and share the good news and the external, independent recognition of the council's achievements. There is of course a cake, cut by one of the council's joint leaders, and after breakfast I join the council's chief executive and senior officers for the beginning of their tour of the council's various offices, bringing biscuits and chocolates - so much fat and sugar that I joke that it's part of our Healthy Harlow initiative.
It's really fantastic news, and everyone I meet this morning has a spring in their step and a smile on their face.
