Local Government Finance Settlement

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and MHCLG set annual funding allocations to English local authorities through the Local Government Finance Settlement, covering core services, social care, and transport. The 2026–27 settlement introduces revised funding formulae for home-to-school transport and addresses accumulated deficits from COVID-19 and service pressures. Current issues include SEND deficits, rural authority cost pressures, and deficit management frameworks.
