The Office for State/Local Government Relations is continuing to monitor the actions of the District Council of the Copper Coast, including the proposed CWMS scheme, and will continue to advise me as appropriate. 5.	Once the scheme has been fully designed and costed, Council will have an independent prudential report prepared on the scheme under section 48 of the Local Government Act.
