South Holland has lost more than 40% of its funding Published: 06:30, 09 April 2021
New figures show South Holland District Council had its budget slashed by more than 40% in the last six years - but the leader says the real nature of cuts here has been even worse than that.
House of Commons Library data showed the districtâs settlement funding fell from £5.93 million in 2015/16 to £3.5 million for 2021/22, when adjusted for inflation.
That amounts to a fall of 40.9% - but Coun Gary Porter said the authority has actually lost â60p in the poundâ during an era of tightening local authority budgets.

South Holland revises Tenancy Management Policy Published: 15:00, 19 December 2020
Council tenants in South Holland are to receive guidance about passing on their contract to a family member in the event of death.
Updated rules regarding the management of about 4,000 tenancies across the area were discussed by by South Holland District Council cabinet members during a virtual meeting on Tuesday.
Concerns were raised about the rules relating to succession of tenancies, which only allow a joint tenant or, in the event of a sole tenancy, a husband or wife, partner or co-habiting partner to take over a tenancy if the existing tenant dies.
