Avoiding local government failure – the changes needed by the sector to safeguard against failure
In the final episode in our three-part series looking into local government governance, Partners Amardeep Gill and Scott Dorling conclude their conversation with Professor Catherine Staite, Professor of Public Management at the University of Birmingham, by discussing the changes that need to happen in order to better protect the sector from future failures.
They discuss whether a lack of transparency has been a common theme in recent failures and what the top priorities should be for local government going forward.
