Responding to the Secretary of State’s update on local government finance, Solace President Matt Prosser said: “The additional funding announced today for the next financial year is welcome and it will go some way to help hard-pressed councils address acute funding pressures across a range of services experiencing high demand, increasing costs and complexity. Looking to the longer-term Solace has offered to work with officials on real, financial reforms that will create a more sustainable finance system for local government when that time is appropriate.”
