Answer
Our fair and sustainable financial settlement gives local authorities the ability to protect important local services. As democratically elected organisations, they are independent of central Government and are responsible for managing their budgets in line with local priorities. However, central Government expects local authorities to take on the challenge of making savings, while continuing to provide excellent services to local communities.
