Better Outcomes, Lean Delivery (BOLD)

"The national financial situation means that councils across the country are having their budgets significantly reduced.

In Worcestershire we're no different. We have to save £60-70 million from our core revenue budget by 2015.

This represents a big challenge to us all, but through careful planning and a creative and innovative approach, we are confident we can make these savings in a way that protects the services which really matter to you." Trish Haines, Chief Executive
