System C COO urges councils to start early on local government reorganization planning
  • System C COO Mark Scott urged councils planning local government reorganisation to start earlier than expected to protect service continuity.
  • Scott set “safe and legal” delivery as a core principle, citing the need to validate systems, processes, and data before transition deadlines.
  • He warned reorganisation plans will deviate, calling for flexible governance to manage shifting requirements without compromising critical services.
  • Former Westmorland and Furness director Paul Robinson said councils should secure funding and specialist staff early to avoid underestimating workload.
  • Both executives prioritised safeguarding records, system availability, and cybersecurity, framing supplier relationships as partnerships rather than contract-led engagements.
