Finance and Industry
Public funding is increasingly under pressure; we are expected to deliver more for less. Developing new and innovative forms of financing for local government and building working relationships with industry are crucial to bridging future funding gaps.
The Finance and Industry work stream works with Government to strengthen financial devolution and promote economic growth. It seeks to do this by increasing the possible range of long-term financial opportunities and freedoms for local authorities, and by improving the engagement of business in ensuring that resources are targeted to achieve common objectives.
