Financial challenges ahead in Wales after 'tough' CSR

摘要

Financial pressures are just one of the challenges facing councils in Wales, according to the head of CIPFA Wales. Maria Jones told The MJ, following the tight Comprehensive Spending Review, there would be pressures to deliver the One Wales Agreement formed by the Labour and Plaid Cymru coalition government. Speaking after the annual CIPFA Wales conference held last week in Llandudno, Ms Jones said councils across Wales were now 'entering a period of retrenchment', and facing quite a challenge to deal with this.
