Episode Details

Leicestershire County Council proposes a £60 million savings plan, backed by Reform UK, to address an £85 million budget deficit by 2030. The plan involves investing £28.2 million now to save more later, with potential savings of up to £27.2 million over four years. Opposition councillors criticize the plan as a risky gamble, while Reform UK defends it as a necessary fix for inherited debt. Key strategies include expanding homecare teams, cutting agency staff, implementing AI for paperwork, and entering the care home market. An update is expected by autumn 2026.
