The state of local government finance 2023

Local Government Information Unit - To better understand the true picture of council finances in England, chief executives, directors of finance, and council leaders and cabinet members were surveyed on topics including: the sustainability of local government finance; steps councils are taking to balance their budgets; the state of local services; and the future of local government finance. The report reveals more than half of councils will be cutting spending on services, increasing commercial investments, or spending reserves to make ends meet in the year ahead. The report found that these measures are being taken on top of the more than 90 per cent of councils that would also be increasing council tax or increasing fees or charges.ReportPress release
