地方议会协会警告称,由于成本上升和服务需求,英格兰地方议会面临 62 亿英镑的资金缺口。 England's councils face a £6.2bn funding gap due to rising costs and demand for services, warns LGA.
地方政府协会 (LGA) 警告称,未来两年英格兰的议会将面临 62 亿英镑的资金缺口。 England's councils face a £6.2bn funding gap over the next two years, warns the Local Government Association (LGA). 造成这一缺口的原因是成本上升以及对成人社会关怀、儿童服务、无家可归者支持和特殊需要儿童的家庭到学校交通等服务的需求。 The shortfall is driven by rising costs and demand for services including adult social care, children's services, homelessness support, and home-to-school transport for children with special needs. 地方政府协会呼吁在下次支出审查中大幅、持续增加对地方议会的资助。 The LGA calls for a significant, sustained increase in funding for councils in the next Spending Review.
