Council spending will have fallen by nearly 30% by the
end of the current parliament as a result of government funding reductions, an
analysis of expenditure by CIPFA has found. The data, compiled by CIPFA and the
CLG as part of the 2014/15 Revenue Account Budget Estimates return, means
council spending will have fallen back to the level of 2005/06 in cash terms.
The cash reduction in per capita spending between 2009/10 – the last year of
the previous Parliament – and 2014/15 will be 14.5%. However, this rises to
29.1% when adjusted to take account of inflation over the period. Read more on
