Call for an independent review of the recent local government finance settlement
“The Government announced a £300m fund to help ease the pain of the cuts, but instead of giving it to areas that have had the biggest cuts, they gave it to wealthier areas run by Conservative councils that have had the least cuts since 2010.
After complaints that Government funding cuts were too severe, the Government announced a £300m ‘relief fund’ to help affected areas. But instead of targeting the money on areas with the biggest cuts, 85% of it has been sent to areas with the lowest levels of deprivation that have experienced the least cuts. Most of these areas are run by Conservative councils. There are concerns public money was used as a political fix to buy votes for the Tories in the run-up to elections in May.
