CTR harmonisation for Local Government Reorganisation
Local Government Reorganisation brings difficult Council Tax Reduction decisions. New councils may inherit several legacy schemes, different caseloads, different costs and different local priorities.
Visionary Network and Inbest help councils bring that complexity together into a clear, fair and financially sustainable CTR scheme.
We support the full process, from data analysis and option modelling through to member engagement, consultation, Equality Impact Assessment, final recommendations and implementation planning.
Using specialist CTR expertise and the Inbest modelling platform, we help councils understand the financial impact, resident impact, equality implications and delivery risks of each option before decisions are made.
The result is a scheme that is evidence based, legally robust, understandable for residents and ready for implementation.

Crisis Resilience Fund support for Local Government Reorganisation
Local Government Reorganisation creates a major challenge for crisis support, local welfare, discretionary payments and referral pathways.
Visionary Network helps councils design and harmonise Crisis Resilience Fund arrangements that are practical, targeted and ready for delivery.
Working with Inbest’s administrative data capability, we help councils identify residents who may need support, run targeted campaigns, strengthen referral routes and track outcomes.
Our support covers scheme design, operating models, member and officer engagement, data led targeting, benefits take up campaigns, prevention activity, crisis support, energy cost support and impact reporting.
The result is a CRF approach that helps councils intervene earlier, support residents more effectively, use limited funding well and demonstrate what has changed.
