REVIEW IDENTIFIES £2.7M OF SAVINGS AT COUNTY COUNCIL
Burton Mail
|December 30, 2025
SAVINGS will be made with the mobile library service and contracts with voluntary organisations as part of a council's internal efficiency review.
Staffordshire County Council's ruling Reform UK group announced the efficiency audit after taking control of the authority in the May elections.
This has now resulted in seven individual efficiency proposals, which will result in a £2.67 million in savings next year - the county council had an overall net revenue budget of £734 million in 2025/26.
A review of the council's mobile library service is set to save £130,000, while a review of contractual expenditure with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector will save a further £150,000.
Changes related to concessionary fares will save £1 million in 2026/27, falling to £500,000 in subsequent years, and there will also be a one-off saving of £500,000 due to waste-to-recycling increased revenue being brought forward.
