A new deal for the District We can’t afford business as usual, can’t make the District better on our own, & don’t have all the answers. We need to: • talk to partners about how we work together • talk to people and communities about the challenges we face and the changes that we need to make, and to hear their ideas • strike a new deal about what people can expect from local services, what their responsibilities are, what they can do and what support they need. In summary • £130m Funding Gap by 2020 • £160m already cut – most from back office • Growing Population & rising demand • Things can’t stay the same 8
