LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

Councils are a good investment

The Local Government Association's #CouncilsCan campaign aimed at influencing the 2019 Spending Review has begun by highlighting the threat to popular - but non-statutory - services if the £8bn funding black hole is not tackled, says Lord Porter.

While we await the timetable for the 2019 Spending Review, the Local Government Association has already launched its campaign for more funding for councils.

Our #CouncilsCan campaign aims to influence the review and highlight the growing risk to vital local services if the Government does not take action to secure the financial sustainability of councils.
