Summary
Local government is well rehearsed in the need to increase efficiency and reduce spend, but during these well documented periods of austerity, it is important to look to new measures of income generation.
Generating income is about more than increasing congestion, waste and parking charges. It is about restructuring service models to make use of assets, mutuals, social enterprises, co-payments and trading to ensure that local government can survive hardship to emerge leaner.
This policy briefing explores new and innovative ideas from entrepreneurial councils demonstrating the delivery of new service models, the management of assets and the opportunities available in revenue generation. This briefing will keep your council at the cutting edge of best practice, whilst developing new income streams to enable you to provide better services for your area.
