How Digital Transformation can help Local Authorities Fill the Gap

Since the Labour government came to power in 2024, local authority funding in the UK has seen cautious increases, as the incoming government pledged to restore essential public services, with targeted funding for social care, housing, and education. However, inflation and rising demand have limited the impact, leaving many councils still struggling to balance budgets.

It is clear that many of these multiple challenges will fall on public sector HR, finance and technology leaders. However, help is at hand in the form of technology and software solutions – and this financial pressure may just end up being the catalyst for a more efficient and more effective way of working.

That’s why tailored technological solutions can play a pivotal role in helping public sector bodies meet the new requirements being placed on them and help their regions find efficiencies.
