Due to these ongoing service pressures, plus the impact of the increase in National Insurance Contributions on boroughs’ supply chains, costs will rise faster than funding levels. As a whole, London local government is grappling with a grim financial outlook. Boroughs highlight this growing reliance on EFS as further evidence of structural underfunding and are calling for better forms of support from central government for councils struggling with the most urgent budget pressures. London Councils is pushing for any income deprivation measure used in the funding formulae to calculate income after housing costs, and for deprivation measures more broadly to reflect the wider impact of housing and homelessness on deprivation. However, this dataset does not reflect the full impact of housing as a driver of deprivation. It’s right that the government is targeting deprivation in the new formula, but we are concerned that the measures used in the current proposals will not sufficiently account for London’s extreme housing poverty.

“The government’s plans to reform council funding are pivotal for ensuring local areas receive funding that genuinely matches their levels of need and enables them to cope with fast-rising costs and pressures. “As this report makes clear, the local government funding system is fundamentally broken and change is long overdue. London Councils has flagged this issue as a major concern, warning that the deprivation measures in the government’s Fair Funding Review 2.0 proposals do not fully reflect housing poverty and risk significantly underestimating levels of need in the capital. London Councils has welcomed a new parliamentary report on the financial crisis facing local government. London Councils is the collective of London local government, the 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation.

Measures of deprivation used in the new funding formula must account for local housing costs” (Recommendation, Paragraph 133). Among its recommendations, the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee says that reforms to the council funding system should ensure local housing costs are properly accounted for in measures of deprivation used to allocate resources. London Councils has welcomed this year’s Spending Review as an opportunity to make the case for more long-term investment in local services. “Boroughs provide vital local services for our communities and play a crucial role in delivering new homes and driving economic growth. “With more and more boroughs forced to turn to the government for Exceptional Financial Support simply to stay afloat, it is clear that there is a long way to go to end the crisis in local government finance. “Massive service pressures and tight funding constraints mean that hard times are still here for boroughs’ budgets.

This is fabricated content that shows you in a sexual act or in an intimate state. A local authority Section 151 officer (Finance Director) has a duty to issue a Section 114 notice if they believe the authority is unlikely to balance its budget. Without this support, more councils would effectively have to issue Section 114 notices as they would not be able to balance their budgets. This enables additional borrowing from the Public Works Loan Board to help address immediate financial pressures.

The government’s Exceptional Financial Support (EFS) framework has been in place since 2020. The impact of homelessness on Londoners – especially families with children – is devastating, and the costs to boroughs are utterly unsustainable. London Councils estimates at least one in 50 Londoners is homeless – including on average at least one homeless child in every London classroom – and that boroughs spend around £4m a day on temporary accommodation. The worsening homelessness emergency and skyrocketing spending on temporary accommodation in the capital pose a critical risk to boroughs’ finances.

This could lead to London boroughs receiving less government funding than is required to deliver vital local services and return to financial stability. This could mean London is left without the funding we need to deliver vital local services and return to financial stability. London Councils’ analysis shows that boroughs’ funding per Londoner fell by 28% since 2010, despite an 11% growth in London’s population and rising demand for services. Boroughs also support the government’s commitment to reforming the broken system of funding local authorities, and will be seeking more flexibilities and devolved powers to help sustain their finances. London has the largest funding gap of any region in the country according to Institute for Fiscal Studies research that found an estimated 17% gap between funding need and the actual levels of local government funding across the whole of London. This follows years of structural underfunding, skyrocketing costs, and fast-rising demand for services – particularly homelessness support, adult social care, and children’s services/SEND.
