Leisure, temporary housing and comms expert Andy Allsopp on delivering bad news

This week deputy editor Martin George is joined by senior reporter Megan Kenyon and head of content Kirsty Weakley to discuss why some councils are struggling to deliver leisure services. 

They also talk about the human and financial costs that a crisis in temporary accommodation is causing. 

And with many councils forecasting huge gaps in their finances, Martin is joined by communications guru Andy Allsopp to discuss how local authorities can best tell residents about bad news about their own organisation.

Also, in her last News Round Up podcast, Megan reflects on what she had learned about local government during two years at LGC.
