Local government finance burst onto national newspaper headlines this month after Northamptonshire became the first council in two decades to issue a section 114 notice.

But even as central government and commentators were coming to terms with the implications, local authority officers around the country continued their work managing a raft of changes affecting the sector: Brexit, IFRS9, MiFID II, prudential code and, of course, the ongoing effects of austerity.

We want to know your views about the future of local government finance and treasury.

Room151 is launching a major new survey to gauge the opinion of officers on prospects for financial sustainability, the impact of IFRS9 and MiFID II on treasury management and council commercialisation.

Your opinions and insights will be collated and a full report provided to all participants while selected results will be presented at our inaugural LATIF North conference in Manchester on 22 March by our lead sponsor, CCLA.

The survey is only open to senior treasury officers, section 151 officers and heads of finance from local authorities.
