To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans the Department has to ensure financial sustainability of Coventry City Council.
Rishi Sunak
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
Recognising the growing pressures on local authorities, Coventry City Council will receive over £1.2 billion of core spending power during the Spending Review period (2015-16 to 2019-20) to spend on local services.
This is an increase of 2.5 per cent (between 2015-16 to 2019-20) and has predominantly not been ringfenced, allowing Coventry Council to prioritise local services.
