All local authorities are required to make efficiencies.  As Cabinet member, it is my responsibility to ensure we reach our targets.

Norfolk County Council’s Efficiency Programme has delivered £58 million savings in the last four years and continues to drive out savings to keep council tax down.

I recently attended a Local Government Conference in London on improvement and efficiency.  This made me realise how far ahead of the pack Norfolk is in these areas, as we could have put on the conference ourselves with better examples. We can sometimes “hide our light under a bushel”.
