Hosted by the TaxPayers’ Alliance
Tuesday, 3rd October | 09.00am – 10.00am
As council budgets become increasingly stretched, more and more local authorities are looking at new ways to raise funds to fund services and limit the need for council tax rises. But as more and more experiment, more and more are running into trouble. Whether it’s South Cambridgeshire’s failing four-day week trial or Woking’s spectacular bankruptcy, there are serious questions about whether such experimentation should be considered genuinely radical, or simply reckless.
