Striking chart from the latest @LGiU report on the state of local government finance in England.
This would suggest that austerity is very much back in local government.
Are cuts to local libraries, parks and leisure consistent with levelling up?

More Local Governments face tough choices and funding shortfalls.

Cornwall Council's unpopular budget for the year head - which was approved yesterday - has been dubbed a 'roadmap to bankruptcy'. The council's Conservative administration says there is no other way of tackling major shortfalls for vital services. cornwalllive.com/news/cornwa…

These stats should shame us as a country. These are not the failings of #localgov but a consequence of years of underfunding & misplaced political priorities #poverty #childhoodmatters #prevention

#childhoodmatters but this is the bleak reality for many children and children's services. Children and their families deserve better.

A good local public transport infrastructure matters.
18 Feb 2024
A bad transport service closes down life chances. A good one opens up new opportunities.
The new Northumberland Line will cut journey times by half. It’s the only new passenger line being built in England. It’s not been plain sailing!

According to Andy Haldane (Johnson's Levelling Up advisor), Austerity is the root cause of local government bankrupcies and this is threatening Levelling Up. theguardian.com/business/202…
