Birmingham City Council has the highest debt burden at ~£3 billion, but relative to their size, Woking, Spelthorne, Warrington and Thurrock have more debt per capita. From the FT:
This analysis is a fiction from the Times. We looked at analysis by political party recently and decided the variables were to great to make a meaningful comparison. This doesn't take into account deprivation, urban-rural, age, funding reductions and so on.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council breached its overdraft facility by more than £1 million for two days in November 2023 after it failed to find another local authority to borrow from at short notice. Has this happened elsewhere?
Given 52 per cent of Britons support a one-off €5 Venetian tourism tax, is it not time to give consideration to tourism taxes in the United Kingdom?
💥 TWITTER Q&A - ONE DAY TO GO 💥 Tomorrow our @AdrianPabst1 and @_maxmosley and @TPIProductivity's @JackTShaw will answer your questions on "The State of Local Government Finances" ahead of Thursday's #LocalElections 🗳️ DM or Tweet us your questions using #AskNIESR @NIESRorg
It was inevitable that Labour would (a) change the name of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities and (b) drop the use of the phrase "levelling up". Its replacement isn't clear, but Labour should avoid the Department for Take Back Control, as the FT is mooting.
In this interview with Michael Gove, who compares the Government's plan to tackle regional inequalities to a "half-built cathedral", Gove reportedly asked the Treasury for a council tax cut for northern households - which Rishi Sunak rejected as Chancellor.ft.com/content/d68d96…
Turnout in local electiona since 1980, from The Economist:
The budget-setting process in local authorities never stops. Peterborough Council is already seeking donations or sponsors to save its Christmas lights: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
With the local elections on Thursday, the FT has re-examined regional inequalities. The Government has made progress in some cases while inequalities has worsened in others:
Our new polling of 4 of next week’s mayoral races is featured in today’s @thetimes by @cazjwheeler Starting with the West Midlands where we find incumbent Conservative Andy Street leading Labour’s Richard Parker by 2 points making the race a statistical tie.
Brilliant work from Jen and team:
One of the critiques of the Government's programme to tackle regional inequalities is that the investment doesn't offset the reductions in local authority funding. From the FT:
This morning the Business and Trade Select Committee published its report on Freeports and Investment Zones. In it - paragraph 68 - Members of Parliament ask Michael Gove to direct the National Audit Office to scrutinise the spending of public monies on Teesworks et al.
The Architectural Heritage Fund does great work and they're looking for Trustees.
The Architectural Heritage Fund does great work and they're looking for Trustees.
The Government has outlined the objectives of the Long-Term Sustainability Panel that will be established in the summer to review Productivity Plans. It will meet quarterly and its Terms of Reference will be published in due course, as will a summary of each meeting:

@AriannaGi @JackTShaw Just quickly checked the numbers for what I'd have done. And,... the gap does seem to have closed by about what's in the FT graph. The absolute numbers,... are less encouraging. 😂😂
Has the UK government closed the gap in transport spending (I'll interpret as transport capital investment per person) between The Greater South East and the rest of England since 2019? The answer is YES! (HS2 is expensive!) The absolute numbers are less inspiring.
With the local elections on Thursday, the FT has re-examined regional inequalities. The Government has made progress in some cases while inequalities has worsened in others:
Tony Travers devastating as always in his analysis (ht @JackTShaw) in the Decline and Fall of Local Democracy in 2003.
@JackTShaw I agree on that. The democratic foundation of devolution in Scotland and Wales is far firmer than the imposition of what we've got in England. Of course it is possible to get rid of City Mayors as eg. Bristol has done, which is good. A referendum on Metro Mayors would be good.
Not actually “exclusive”, because it is all lifted from @PrivateEyeNews # #rottenboroughs. But there you go. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Following @PrivateEyeNews #RottenBoroughs' exposure of W Northants Tory council leader Jonathan Nunn as a serial domestic abuser, a Conservative councillor comes out against him. Just the one. For now.
Just spoken with west northants conservative Cheryl Hawes (Kingsthorpe south) who is the first publicly to come out against Jonathan Nunn. She says she has withdrawn her support and thinks it should have been her own group rather than the opposition who called for his resignation
