'It's not easy': Reform council strives to identify promised savings

Reform UK's challenge of identifying savings for Lancashire County Council faces hurdles, with opposition councillors skeptical about maintaining services. The party, led by Nigel Farage, aims to use its Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to cut costs, but the process has been slow. With a projected £28m overspend and pressure to find £100m in savings, the council must focus on innovation and procurement to balance the budget, while addressing growing demands for services like adult social care and children's services.
