Wiltshire理事会错过了主要资金,面临财政压力,尽管与增税挂钩略有增加。 Wiltshire Council misses out on major funding, faces financial strain despite small increase tied to tax hikes.

威尔特郡议会因未能获得政府780亿英镑地方政府解决方案的主要资金而面临财政压力，该方案优先考虑城市地区。 Wiltshire Council faces financial pressure after missing out on major funding in the government’s £78 billion local government settlement, which prioritized urban areas. 虽然据报告核心支出权力增加了5.7%,但很大程度上取决于理事会税收的增加,限制了灵活性。 While a 5.7% increase in core spending power was reported, it largely depends on council tax rises, limiting flexibility. 理事会领导人Cllr Ian Thorn强调,农村在成人社会照顾、儿童服务和特殊教育需求方面的挑战没有反映在筹资公式中,呼吁进行更公平、长期的改革。 Council leader Cllr Ian Thorn highlighted that rural challenges in adult social care, children’s services, and special educational needs are not reflected in the funding formula, calling for fairer, long-term reform. 与此同时,该理事会已获得310万英镑的政府资金,用于改善积极的旅行基础设施,包括徒步道、自行车道和交叉路口,为期四年,以支持更安全、更绿色的全州旅行。 Meanwhile, the council has secured £3.1 million in government funding to improve active travel infrastructure, including footpaths, cycle lanes, and junctions, over four years to support safer, greener travel across the county.
