This weekend is the last chance to join more than 3,000 residents who have backed Wokingham borough council’s call for changes to the government’s proposals for local government funding that woulds significantly increase the borough’s financial challenges.
The government proposal would take some £50 million of support away from Wokingham borough over the next three years.
This year, we received approximately £21 million of core revenue funding from government; by 2028-29 that is expected to fall to £4.5 million.
We have joined other councils similarly at risk to call for a minimum annual Government funding increase for all top-tier councils (those responsible for social care) of four per cent. This is the minimum we believe is needed.
