Locally led action will be key if every part of the country is to bounce back from this economic shock.

Councils want to work with the Govt and help them target increased national investment to help young people and adults into secure jobs.

While measures announced today are positive, there is unfinished business when it comes to fully supporting councils and some sectors.

Councils continue to lead local areas through this crisis and are committed to working with the Govt to help communities, but further measures are needed to address the severe financial challenges they face as a result.
