Map: Council tax winners and losers after government reveals funding
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Councils in England have learned how 78bn of investment will be shared among them as the government reveals its new multi-year funding settlement. The plans have shifted funding towards more deprived areas, which the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) says is a bid to restore pride and opportunity in left behind places. Several outer London boroughs like Luton, Enfield and Newham have received the biggest spending increases to 2028/29, followed by cities like Manchester, Birmingham, and Derby."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and emphasizes keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet investigates items such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Councils in England will share £78bn under a multi-year funding settlement that shifts money toward more deprived areas, with outer London boroughs and major cities among the largest gainers to 2028/29. Thirty-three councils will see reduced spending power, with Harborough facing a 15.8% reduction over three years, while MHCLG projects a 23% rise in core spending power by the end of the settlement compared with 2024-25.
