Portsmouth presentation 11th march 2014 (v2) for blogJohn Smith
Giles Piercy from Locality Matters gave a presentation about their work with the White City Estate community in London. They have taken over running services like the community center and parenting programs. Locality Matters is also exploring taking on more services from the local council like social care, repairs, and reviews of all council services. Some key lessons they have learned include having a strong community leader, acquiring a community asset like the center, replacing rather than augmenting existing services, improving branding and marketing, choosing attractive services to take over, and working from an asset-based view of the community's skills rather than focusing on deficiencies. Their goal is to empower the community to better deliver and manage local services.

The document discusses the budget challenges facing the council over the next three years from 2014/15 to 2016/17. It notes that the council will need to reduce net expenditure by £30 million to balance the budget. This will require finding savings from the council's £214 million in controllable funding. Key areas that could see savings include staff costs, contracts, and service reductions through smarter commissioning. The document examines factors like the scope for increasing income, reducing expenditure in different portfolios, and considerations around protecting certain services. It provides examples of what £30 million in savings might look across portfolios on an annual basis.
