Ah, ok. I hadn't read that, but had read about the Birmingham issue.
I think it's going to be a problem for a lot of councils up and down the country. Even with pre-2010 levels of reserves, they'd struggle to deal with the size of some of these potential claims.
Either way, I think the 700/701 will be the least of their worries!

It's not bankruptcy but a freeze on new spending. You would imagine therefore that rolling contracts are honored.
