The state of local government finance in England 2024
Local Government Information Unit -This annual survey finds that the local government sector in England is increasingly in a state of financial crisis. Over half of respondents to the survey said they were likely to declare effective bankruptcy in the next five years, 9% said they were likely to in the next financial year. Respondents from councils with responsibility for social care say that children ’s social care is by far the most urgent short-term pressure, and adults and children’s social care together make up the most serious long-term pressure.ReportLocal Government Information Unit - publications
