This week editor Sarah Calkin, is joined by deputy editor Martin George and head of content Kirsty Weakley to dissect the week's big stories. 

They discus why councils are frustrated with the Home Office over hotels being used to house asylum seekers, the latest on devolution deals, and why health is critical to the devolution agenda.  They also consider what the autumn statement will mean for councils. 

Listeners will also find out what happened when one council asked residents to vote on the name for a new museum.
