Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

The Council disagrees, argues a standalone plan is not required, and describes roadway, funding, safety and grant criteria in its budgeting process.

Audit analysis

The response disputes the implication that no planning occurs, not the absence of a standalone document. The assertion that no particular format is legally required is the Council’s position, not a legal conclusion here.

Finding-response score
