How has local government funding changed since 2010?
Local authority ‘spending power’ – the amount of money authorities have to spend from government grants, council tax and business rates – fell by 22.6% in real terms between 2010/11 and 2019/20. Since then, funding has recovered somewhat, though in 2025/26 was still 8.2% lower in real terms than in 2010/11. Spending power will increase further throughout this parliament but will still be 0.5% lower in real terms in 2028/29 than in 2010/11. When accounting for population growth, spending power fell 27.5% in real terms between 2010/11 and 2019/20 and will still be 13.7% lower in real terms in 2028/29 than in 2010/11.

Since 2009/10, local authorities have spent an ever larger proportion of their budgets on more acute, demand-led services such as adult and children’s social care. Local authorities spent just over half (53.0%) of their budgets on those two services in 2009/10, compared to more than two-thirds (68.5%) in 2024/25. More recently, local authorities’ budgets have come under pressure from rising demand for homelessness and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) services.
