The Local Authority is a podcast by Local Government Chronicle. Each month, the podcast will ask fundamental questions about how local government needs to adapt to fulfil its full potential and best serve local populations. It will see LGC assemble a small panel of significant figures from the sector to discuss one specific issue per episode. All will have a focus on the future, with the emphasis being on innovation, fairness, policy change and place leadership. Between launch in May 2021 and June 2023 the podcast was sponsored by TPXImpact.

Continually looking for savings and efficiencies in the quest to balance the books has become a way of life for local authorities. But striking the balance between achieving savings in the short term without storing up more problems for the future is challenging and can require political and managerial bravery.
In this episode of The Local Authority LGC, in association with Impower, explores what good savings look like and how councils can deliver more of them.
LGC editor Sarah Calkin is joined by:
- Martin Reeves, chief executive, Oxfordshire CC
- Mark Smith, director of public service reform, Gateshead MBC
- Ebony Hughes, chief operating officer, Impower
