Poorest areas hit hardest by finance settlement
NLGN’s analysis has demonstrated that the most deprived areas have been hit the hardest by today’s Finance Settlement.

‘Councils will have to take radical steps to transform the way they deliver services in the years ahead to meet this unprecedented challenge.’
