Nottinghamshire County Council, which is led by Reform UK, is set to carry out an ‘efficiency review’ in an attempt to find savings.

A council report said the review aims to 'provide assurance to Nottinghamshire residents about the extent to which financial management is robust, efficient, and provides value for money for the taxpayer.’

Council leader Mick Barton told the BBC the move was not connected to the national party’s Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.

Labour group leader Penny Gowland commented: ‘The problem is not that councils are wasting money but that they don't have enough money to do things properly.’
