“In order for this to be a success it is essential that those services we currently provide are placed on a firmer financial footing to make sure the two new unitary councils don’t inherit the significant issues we face.

“This needs to happen before the new councils are created to make sure they start life with transformed, affordable services and a balanced budget."

The upcoming changes in Northamptonshire's governance were causedby the county council's financial collapse in early 2018.
