Description

It’s no secret that local authorities across the country are facing huge financial pressures, and Coventry City Council is no different as it forecasts a £30m budget shortfall. 

Coventry recently shared that without additional central government funding, it could effectively declare itself bankrupt and only deliver services it has to by law.

A report, released in December, proposed local money-saving options and Cllr Richard Brown, Cabinet Member for Finance and Phil Helm, Senior Finance Officer at Coventry City Council join me to talk through the Council's proposals.
