Dodds To Review NI Land And Property Services
Stormont Finance Minister Nigel Dodds has commissioned a review of the government agency Land & Property Services (LPS).
The review, the latest to be undertaken by the Performance and Efficiency Delivery Unit (PEDU), will assess the capacity of the agency to meet current and future challenges.
Mr Dodds said: "Land & Property Services undertakes a number of key roles, including the collection of rates from domestic and non-domestic properties across Northern Ireland. This means that the agency directly engages with all local households and businesses on an annual basis.
"Given the complexity and scale of the work it is involved in, I believe it is essential that we assure ourselves the agency is structured and managed in a way that is focused on the delivery of its important objectives," said the Minister.
He added: "That is why I have asked the Performance and Efficiency Delivery Unit to conduct a review of LPS and, where necessary, provide me with recommendations to enhance the capacity of the agency to meet the challenges faced by it."
