Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Government elected in the next UK General Election is faced with the task of designing and implementing a series of fundamental reforms to the way in which local authorities are funded, the services that they are currently required to deliver, and the way in which these services are delivered. It is critical that the next Government prioritises this matter.
