Room151’s annual survey has been launched at a time when the local government finance sector is dealing with a changing landscape, a challenging economic context, and some all-too-familiar service, financial and funding pressures.
The 2026 edition of the survey aims to gather local government finance officers’ views on treasury, funding and macro-economic issues – and you can now have your say and contribute to an important snapshot of the state of the sector.
The survey, sponsored by CCLA, features four sections encompassing questions on treasury investment; financial sustainability; policy and government; and macro-economic/mega trends.
The survey is open to all UK local authorities and should be completed by treasury managers, principal accountants, directors of resources or s151/deputy s151 officers. We only require one response per authority.
The survey should only take around 10 minutes to complete and the results will provide a fascinating insight into the current thinking of finance professionals and can be used as a valuable tool for decision-making. They will also help frame the editorial content and events planned by Room151 for 2027.
The survey is open until Friday 4 September. Results will be published first at LATIF, and then after by email to all participants.
More information on LATIF 2025 and how to register to attend can be found here. The event is taking place on 17 September at 155 Bishopsgate in London. Room151 subscribers are entitled to a free delegate place to LATIF (up to five delegates per authority).
