Continually looking for savings and efficiencies in the quest to balance the books has become a way of life for local authorities. But striking the balance between achieving savings in the short term without storing up more problems for the future is challenging and can require political and managerial bravery.

LGC editor Sarah Calkin is joined by:


  • Martin Reeves, chief executive, Oxfordshire CC

  • Mark Smith, director of public service reform, Gateshead MBC

  • Ebony Hughes, chief operating officer, Impower
