New LGA analysis has found that councils could face a funding gap of more than £8 billion by 2028/29 without adequate investment.
LGA Chair @weezegee spoke to @BBCr4today about the impact this could have on services and council budgets. 1/2
Councils in England could face a £8bn funding gap by 2028/29.
If this gap isn't addressed in the #SpendingReview, crucial local services and growth opportunities could be at risk.
Here’s why this matters 👇

The LGA has been making the case for extra funding for councils.
Watch LGA Chair Cllr Louise Gittins @weezegee on @SkyNews give her reaction to today's Budget #localgov
After an inspiring week with councillors and officials across local government I want to thank everyone at @LGAcomms#LGAConf24
We are at our best when we work as partners in power, and we are committed to resetting the relationship with central government.
"It's time for a new, equal & respectful partnership between local & central government,” says LGA Chair Louise Gittins.
Last week #LGAConf24 played host to the inaugural Leaders’ Council. It will help ensure #LocalGov can deliver on issues that matter most to local communities.
I couldn’t have put it better myself. What an invigorating three days in Harrogate!
Thank you to our member councils, partners, stakeholders, exhibitors, and everyone else.
I hope to see so many of you again next year in Liverpool.
"I found it an inspirational three days. We heard from the best from #LocalGov of all the fantastic things you are doing up and down the country."
In her closing speech, LGA Chair Louise Gittins @weezegee perfectly sums up #LGAConf24.
Thank you to everyone and lovely Harrogate!
