The Secretary of State for Communities and Local
Government,, Eric Pickles MP, has given details of the Local Government Finance
Settlement 2013-14. He described the
settlement as “changes to spending power” – a handy euphemism for severe cuts. As far
as Brent is concerned, we can expect 0.5% cut in
2013/14 and even more cuts in 2014/15 – 5.1%. This is a particularly worrying above
average cut, with a reduction in revenue support grant of nearly £21 million
being indicated for that year.
