Notice of delay of commencement of period of exercise of public rights for 2023/24

Under The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 we are required to publish our draft Statement of Accounts, Narrative Report and Annual Governance Statement for the year ended March 31, 2024, and to commence the 30 working day period for the exercise of public rights, by May 31, 2024. 

Where we are unable to meet this deadline we are required to confirm this in a public notice which sets out our reasons. This statement fulfils that requirement, as specified in section 15 (1A) of The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. 

We have been unable to publish our Statement of Accounts, Narrative Report and Annual Governance Statement for the year ended March 31, 2024 by May 31, 2024 due to operational issues. We will publish these documents as soon as they have been approved by the authority and signed on its behalf, and then issue a notice commencing the period for the exercise of public rights.
