Audit General’s Report and Audit YE 31st March 2025

/0 Comments/in /by

Auditor General’s report and audit opinion

I certify that I have completed the audit of the Annual Return for the year ended 31 March 2025 of Broughton Community Council. My audit has been conducted on behalf of the Auditor General for Wales and in accordance with the requirements of the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004 (the 2004 Act) and guidance issued by the Auditor General for Wales.

Audit opinion: Qualified

Except for the matters reported below in my Basis for Qualification, on the basis of my audit, in my opinion no matters have come to my attention to give cause for concern that, in any material respect, the information reported in this Annual Return:

  • has not been prepared in accordance with proper practices;
  • that relevant legislative and regulatory requirements have not been met;
  • is not consistent with the Council’s governance arrangements; and
  • that the Council does not have proper arrangements in place to secure economy, efficiency and effectiveness in its use of resources.

Basis of Qualification

Accounting Statement

I am unable to conclude whether or not the Accounting Statement fairly present the Council’s income and expenditure and financial position:

•        The Council did not provide invoices for 3 material transactions. Therefore, I am unable to conclude whether or not the Accounting Statement fairly presents the Council’s income and expenditure.

Annual Governance Statement

In my opinion, the Annual Governance Statement is not consistent with the Council’s internal controls and governance arrangements for the year: 

  • Section 50 of the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru etc. Act 2013 requires the Council to publish its audited accounts online. Regulation 5 of the Accounts and Audit (Wales) Regulations 2014 requires the Council to publish the Annual Governance Statement alongside the accounts. Regulation 15 of the 2014 Regulations requires the Council to publish along with the accounts, any certificate, opinion, or report issued, given or made by the Auditor General. The Council has failed to publish its qualified audit reports from previous years.
  • The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 requires the Council to create and publish a plan for councillor and staff training. The Welsh Government provides statutory guidance on this, which states that the plan must be approved by the full council and include details on the type of training,

Page 1 of 3 – Auditor General’s report and audit opinion – please contact us in Welsh cysylltwch â ni’n Gymraeg neu’n Saesneg.

participant numbers, timeframe, and cost. The Council has not met its obligation under the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 to create and publish a training plan for members.

  • The Council does not publish a register of members’ interests as required by section 81 of the Local Government Act 2000.

Other matters and recommendations

I draw the Council’s attention to the following matters and recommendations which do not affect my audit opinion but should be addressed by the Council. 

Chair’s Allowance

The Chair was paid £300 in 2024/25 and this allowed under the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales’ guidelines. However, we were unable to identify whether this payment was taxed.

We recommend that the Council reviews the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales’ guidelines and ensures that the appropriate level of taxation is levied.

Reserves Balance

The Local Government Finance Act 1992 only allows the Council to set a precept to fund planned expenditure and requires it to take its reserves into account when setting the precept. It is not clear from the information provided for audit whether or not the Council has taken its significant reserves balance into account when setting the precept. 

To ensure that it sets a lawful precept, we recommend that the Council reviews its reserves and its plans to apply these reserves when setting its future budgets and precept. Further guidance is found in the Practitioners’ Guide.

Developing a Vision for the Community

I draw attention to the negative response to assertion 1 in the Annual Governance Statement. In exercising its statutory functions, the Council will benefit from having a clear vision for its community that has been developed in partnership / consultation with all sections of the community. Developing this vision will help inform Council plans, budgets and activities to ensure the Council best works with and in the interests of the community.

Further information is provided in the Finance and Governance Toolkit for Community and Town Councils.

Page 2 of 3 – Auditor General’s report and audit opinion – Please contact us in Welsh Cysylltwch â ni’n Gymraeg neu’n Saesneg.

Information provided for audit

The Council did not provide the arrangements for making payments document or the contract of employment for an additional Council staff member as requested in our annual audit notice.

We recommend that the Council reviews the prospective annual audit notice and provides all of the documents that are requested for audit.

Immaterial Misstatement in the Accounting Statement

Line 8 of the Accounting Statement for the year ended 31st March 2025 contains a non-material variance to the Council’s cashbook. The balance is line 8 is reported as £55,656. However, the Council’s cashbook reports a balance of £53,979.

We recommend that the Council checks the accuracy of the accounting statement and makes the necessary corrections before the accounts are approved.

There are no further matters I wish to draw to the Council’s attention.

Apologies were received from  T. Williams, and  Parry-Jones. Both  apologies were accepted.

94.  DECLARATIONS OF PERSONAL INTEREST

None.

95. BELLWAY HOMES HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, GATEWEN ROAD, NEW BROUGHTON

As there were members of the public in attendance  specifically for this issue it  was  agreed that this item be brought forward.

A planning proposal had been submitted to Wrexham County Borough Council by the developer for a second temporary entrance to the site.

The general consensus was that the community council oppose the application on the following  grounds :

The Planning Department  had concluded that, due to the fact that it is only a temporary access during construction, that public consultation is not required and the decision can be taken under delegated powers. 

  • Given the negative impact that the development is already having on residents and the additional impact a temporary entrance would have the community council strongly disagrees with this view.
  • It was felt that such an approach by Wrexham County Borough Council greatly benefits the developers but at the expense of local residents. The community council feels that this is a totally inappropriate approach.
  • The community council’s understanding is that a temporary entrance should only be in operation for a number of months. It is likely that  this development could take up to four years to complete. 

Page 1

  • Gatewen Road is relatively narrow. There is already a layby quite close to the proposed second entrance, with cars regularly parking there and also cars legally parked on the other side of the road. This results in there being no      clear splay. It is therefore totally unsuitable for a second entrance.  In addition there is a crossing used by pedestrians near to the proposed entrance which is heavily used by children and parents walking to and from the nearby school and by dog owners and children wanting to use the nearby play area and MUGA.
  • Gatewen Road and the nearby Dale Road, which would also see a significant increase in traffic, is a prime walking route for children and parents to the nearby school. It would appear no consideration has been given to the dangers that such a proposal would create.
  • Very soon another development on Berse Road, the other main thoroughfare through the village, is likely to start. This will further exacerbate the current problems, even without the temporary entrance. 
  • Bellway Homes are vastly experienced in developing such sites and should have foreseen such problems.
  • The community council is extremely disappointed that the Highways Department has not been consulted, given the issues which may result from a second entrance.  
  • The community council would therefore request a site meeting with Officers from the Highways and Planning Department.

It was agreed therefore that the Clerk write to both the Head of Planning and Head of Environment to notify Wrexham CBC of the concerns.

96. YOUTH PROVISION

The Chair welcomed Mr. Gareth Stacey, Manager of Youth Provision at Wrexham CBC, to the meeting.

The following points were raised:

  • Concerns about the value for money of the youth provision in Broughton, given the relatively low number of attendees and the fact that there seemed to be no impact on levels of anti-social behaviour.
  • In addition Members had serious concerns about the amount of setting up time and putting equipment away. This was perceived as nonproductive time. Does it require all three staff to be involved in this ?

Mr. Stacey pointed out that this time was important and valuable in ensuring the delivery of quality services and that this was the delivery model used across the County Borough. He also pointed out that such time ensured that plans could be developed to ensure that provision is in line with what those attending actually wanted. In terms of attendance the target of 12 youths/children per session was the target used across the County Borough and was being achieved. Approximately 750 youths will have attended sessions this year.

  • Mr, Stacey also stated the relation between the youths and staff was unique and not the same as, say, a PCSO.

Mr. Stacey was thanked for his attendance.

Page 2

Further discussion then took place.

It was agreed :

That  the Clerk be given authority to sign the Service Level Agreement at the proposed cost. However that one youth session be utilised for detached youth work.

In addition it was agreed to defer the decision on the siting of a container until a review of the service is undertaken in September 2025.

97. VACANCY

The Clerk informed Members that only application had been received for the vacancy.

It was agreed that Ms. Lisa Speed be appointed.

98. PCSO REPORT – Noted.

99. MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 12 FEBRUARY 2025

The minutes were accepted as a true and accurate record.

Matters Arising  

Page 2 – Community Agent

The Clerk informed Members that Wrexham CBC had informed him that they was a waiting list for shelters and that the offer of a community council contribution would not affect that decision.
