Due to essential upgrade work, our online services for School Admissions, Free school meals and Free 2 year-old childcare will not be available from 9am on Wednesday 2 July, 2025. We anticipate the system will be live again by 7pm the same day. Please do not use the system during this downtime. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Intervention and improvement
We're making major changes to improve the way we are managed, to achieve financial stability, and to make the council fit for the future.
In September 2022, we were put into intervention by the Government. Since then, work has been underway to make the council better and more efficient.
