ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In the second episode of our Devolution Dissected update, Amardeep Gill, Head of our Public Sector team, and Paul McDermott continue the conversation with Evie John and Chris Naylor from Inner Circle Consulting, turning their attention to what comes next for councils on the frontline of local government reorganisation.
The discussion explores what the Government's review could mean for councils unhappy with existing LGR decisions, how local authorities can use this period strategically and whether there is scope to make the case for different geographies or structures. They also consider how the current uncertainty interacts with the wider devolution agenda, before looking ahead to where LGR could ultimately end up and the potential timeline for reform.
