Productivity Plan 2024
As part of the 2024/25 Local Government Finance Settlement, all Councils are being asked to produce productivity plans. The plans will help the Government to understand what is already working well across the whole country, what the common themes are and whether there are any gaps and what more the Government needs to do to unlock future opportunities.
