In this new episode of The Local Authority, editor of Local Government Chronicle, Nick Golding speaks to the panellists about 'The Squeeze'.
What can councils do to support their local population during the cost-of-living crisis, including the rise in energy bills to unprecedented levels – even before the invasion of Ukraine. How councils can work to reduce poverty, both among those in and not in work. What strategies can they adopt and which sections of the population should they focus on?
Alongside Nick, this episode features Mike Brewer, Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Economics, Resolution Foundation; Helen Barnard, Associate Director, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Research and Policy Director, Pro Bono Economics and Paul Frainer, Programme Lead - Place, TPXimpact and Director at Institute of Economic Development.
