Could This Be Where The Money Is Coming From – Manor Leisure…?
Better libraries and pools, but higher council tax
The chancellor promised money for “renewal” projects in 350 communities, such as improvements to parks, youth facilities, swimming pools and libraries.
However, the documents strongly suggest there will be rises in council tax in the future, to improve local authorities’ spending power.
As well as this, local government funding is likely to rise slightly and this affects a number of things such as social care for older people, various local services or the cost of a parking permit. Or, in time, it could be as simple as the cost of a garden waste bin.
In the nations of the UK, several areas of policy are devolved, and that can lead to a complicated funding structure that will need to be analysed.
Reeves said, through the funding formula, the government in Scotland would receive £52bn from 2026 to 2029, there will be £23bn for Wales, and £20bn for Northern Ireland.
