Significant pressure is expected on waste collection in 94% of councils, 83% expect significant pressure on leisure centres, while building operation and maintenance is expected to come under pressure at 59% of councils. Watford mayor Peter Taylor said:"Local councils are under huge financial pressure but, thanks to years of sensible financial management and sound investments, Watford is in a better position than many others.
