Kirsty's primary focus is on local government, finance, and the implications of government policies in the United Kingdom. Her coverage heavily includes government announcements and legal policy regulation. If you have expertise or insights related to UK local government policies, finance, devolution, or the "levelling up" agenda, your pitch is likely to be well-received.
She seems particularly interested in how specific regions will use financial resources from governmental funds as part of their development plans. Additionally, Kirsty may appreciate commentary that addresses potential concerns raised by auditors regarding local authorities' financial management and decision-making processes.
