Council tax rises to ease the pace of cuts to local government budgets

Comment
Yesterday was a big day for local government in England. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published the Provisional Local Government Funding Settlement – which sets out how much in the way of core grants it plans to give each English council every year between 2016–17 and 2019–20. This observation analyses what it means for councils and council taxpayers, putting this in the context of the much bigger changes to council funding on the horizon: the full localisation of business rates, and the abolition of central government grants.
