Inside and the front of the Queen's Market in Rhyl
Denbighshire county council’s chief auditor gave a positive report on the last year’s investigations into how it conducts business, apart from the Queen’s Buildings development.
Lisa Lovegrove, chief internal auditor for the authority said the majority of assurance opinions about services were “high or medium” in 2020-21.
However the Queen’s Buildings development in Rhyl came in with a low assurance after costs spiralled and “contract procedure rules” were not followed.
The report said: “Contract procedure rules (CPRs) have not been adhered to and there has also been a lack of internal legal involvement with respect to certain legal advice obtained for this project without legal service’s oversight.”
