Southampton City Council has been warned it risks having to issue a section 114 notice this financial year as it battles to save £20m from its budget.

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) said the authority only delivered 39% of its planned savings last year and if that continued in 2023-24 it would achieve just £7.8m of the £20m target.

CIPFA added: ‘If the council does not bring spending under control and deliver savings in our opinion there is a significant risk to sustainability.

‘This would lead to the potential for considering a section 114 notice in the 2023-24 financial year.’
