Shocking results from our research show the importance of sustainable funding for councils and the need for a cross-party review into how the local government funding system should be reformed.

The community in Rotherham came together after the violent disorder that took place on Sunday.

Deputy PM @AngelaRayner and Minister @Jimfromoldham visited Rotherham this week and met some of the brave people who helped to clean up the area after the weekend.

[Local Government Association (LGA) @LGAcomms]

The unrest and violence we have seen around the country has been deplorable.

Thank you to those councils and volunteers who have worked hard to clean up and protect communities from those who seek to sow division ⤵️🧵

Councils are the single biggest funder of culture in England - but access to that funding is complex and fragmented.

We're calling for a sustainable and fair funding settlement so that councils can invest in local theatres, museums and libraries 🎭🎨📚

Our #LocalGovWhitePaper calls on Gov to commit to local deals, combining funding from multiple national housing programmes into a single pot. 

Our report finds local housing deals could deliver almost 200,000 new social homes over the next 30 years. 👇

The LGA passed a ‘Civility in public life motion’ last week, calling on @GOVUK to improve the public’s understanding of the #councillor role and to establish a permanent central unit to combat abuse of councillors.
