More homes for residents
We’ve had the speech from the Prime Minister – now let’s see the borrowing cap gone for good.
Scrapping the cap
“The housing borrowing cap has hampered councils’ ability to play a leading role in tackling the housing shortage”
Inspiring speeches at conference
“People want the best possible council performance for their residents”
No end to austerity
The Budget was an opportunity for the Government to take action and prove that it will take the looming funding crisis it has caused in local government seriously.
Funding messages for party conference
“Conservative councils consistently deliver excellent services in challenging financial circumstances”
More cuts mean austerity isn’t over
“Councils have lost 60p out of every £1 since 2010”
Making the case for better funding
“We welcome the lifting of the housing borrowing cap, but continue to push for Right to Buy to be devolved”
Looking ahead to next May’s elections
“We are listening to you, speaking for councils nationally, and getting more good people to stand”
Austerity is damaging services for children
“Councils are struggling to meet the increased demand that children’s social care now faces”
