Tories’ council fund is cynical pre-election sticking plaster
Angela Rayner has accused the Conservatives of cynically applying a “sticking plaster” to council finances to get through the next election, as local authority leaders warn that more will go bust next year.
The shadow communities secretary said Labour was “under no illusions” about the financial mess it would inherit in local councils if it gained power, after the Tories “took a sledgehammer” to budgets for more than a decade.
The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, was _forced to bail out councils in England last week with a £600m funding pot to prevent a rebellion _of Tory MPs who fear losing their seats. But figures shared by the Institute for Government show it would take more than £7bn in extra cash to get local government funding up to the same levels as 2010.
Analysis by the Guardian of 13 years of council spending data lays bare the scale of cuts to services.
