The four local authorities were identified as areas that might be most affected by road congestion, have ports or have publicly self-identified as struggling to balance their in-year budgets. Officials from the Department have engaged directly with the Directors of Adult Social Services in the four areas. This equipment has provided assurance that good levels of contingency preparations are in place. We are unable to name the four local authorities concerned as they have not given the Department permission to do so.
