A list from The Times was compiled using data from the Office for Local Government (Oflog), which dubbed Nottingham City Council the worst in England and Torridge District Council in Devon the best.
A number of councils in our region have joined the Local Government Association (LGA) in blasting this use of data as 'inaccurate' and 'ill-timed' considering the article was released during a pre-election period - when councils are limited in what they can respond with.
Manchester council came out as the worst-ranked authority in the region in a position of 279th. Rochdale council was dubbed the best in the region with a national ranking of 57th.
