The council savings programme

Like all local authorities we face tough financial challenges as government austerity measures continue. We have already reduced our costs by £43m through a major efficiency programme, but we now need to save a further £40m by 2020. We have launched a new six-year council savings programme to do this. Delivering these additional savings will be a big challenge. To put them into context, our net budget for 2014/15 is about £191m, of which over £100m will be spent on supporting children, older people and the vulnerable. Making further savings of £40m, on top of the £43m already delivered, will involve far-reaching changes to our role and the services we can provide. We will be a ‘smaller’ council, delivering fewer services, and will need to explore new and more efficient ways of working, in partnership with a ‘bigger’ community.
