Those working for a public sector body in north London have been praised by the Audit Commission in a new report.

In the commission’s corporate assessment study Camden council was stated to be providing a strong level of leadership and being responsive to the needs and requirements of its residents.

Claire Bryce-Smith, senior manager at the Audit Commission, said: "Camden council is performing strongly. Councillors and officers are of a high calibre and managerial and political leadership is very effective."

In addition, the council was praised for working with network partners in reducing levels of anti-social behaviour and crime.

Furthermore, the local authority was stated as having "highly effective" environmental services and taking steps to improve the health of its residents.

Such news might be of interest to people seeking work in the public sector.

Recently, the north-west town of St Helens was praised by the commission for its work in reducing inequalities for deprived sectors of the community.
