Council tax bill A major shake-up beyond the UK may soon be seen as a new labor scheme is seen to make funding a ‘fairer’.
Under the leadership of the Deputy Prime Minister Angela RenerThe schemes will ensure that more government money goes to areas with the highest requirement.
Addresses a new approach Issues among local authorities It is implementing the big council tax hike every year, while the residents repeatedly see very little return for this money. By providing more central funds for those areas where the demand is the greatest, these areas will be more capable of asking for less council tax growth.
However, this would mean that low money will be available in areas where local services have not been extended, and residents have not been asked to pay an increase in such standing bills in recent years. Like this Councils Maximizing the council tax revenue can be forced to resume money.
Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) officer told Many times The current system resulted in “deformed results, where some officers are struggling to provide basic services, while others are better”.
They say that the new approach “will ensure that the government does not reward the places that are able to keep the level of taxes of the council lower due to the strengthening basis”, and “are fair to local authorities and their inhabitants, where they have to make historically difficult decisions on the council tax, often weakened.”
About half of all council funding comes from the central government, which means the new method marks a major improvement. MHCLG has initiated a consultation on new measures to evaluate how new funding allocation will be made.
This will involve assessing the requirement of councils Provide adult social careAlso how to improve social care and special educational requirements and send funding of children.
Nine out of ten councils recorded an increase of 4.99 percent to the maximum possible council tax growth in April, allowing six to increase local rates even more. These were Windsor and Medenhead, Newahuham, Bradford, Birmingham, Summerset and Trafford.
Local Government and Minister of English Divergence, Jim McMahon OBE said: “We have inherited a local government sector on his knees – S -people pushed to the financial verge, faced increasing demand, and working people are not getting quality local services that they are right.
“Council leaders, experts and MPs have a widespread agreement that the current funding model is broken and inappropriate. The government is taking steps to give the promised fair system promised in the 2017 fair funding reviews, but was never distributed.
“These reforms are required to immediately keep these reforms on a stable footing and ensure better services for residents – especially people working – across the country. It is an important part of our plan to change the results of those.”
Clar Pete Marland, Chairman of the Economy and Resource Board of the Local Government Association, said: “A opaque funding system has weakened the financial stability and important public services of the councils, and we will work through details of this consultation.
“These proposals will have adverse views in various councils. Individual councils will need to know the implications and a transitional mechanism is important to avoid risking services.”
