LGA calls on the Treasury to carry out a full assessment of “growing funding gaps”

The Local Government Association on Monday called on the Treasury to carry out a full assessment of “growing funding gaps” across the sector.

A report by the National Audit Office in March said there 49% reduction in government funding for councils between 2010-11 and 2017-18.

The Minister couldn’t have said that comment with a straight face. RSG disappearing and localisation of business rates is causing severest issues in big Met areas in the regions. I’m also seeing no let up in what LAs have a statutory responsibility to deliver…..

A gross distortion of fact .@MyDoncaster 2010= 66% of total funds to serve local ppl came via gov grant. That has been cut & in 2020 is zero. 1%council tax =£1million & doesn’t touch sides of what’s been lost .Regressive Ctax raises more in wealthier places https://t.co/qhjcZ1au8t
