Government revenue support: how much for Cambridgeshire?

by Susan van de Ven on 26 March, 2017

As I’ve been reporting, central government is ending revenue support to councils.

This policy was initiated by then Chancellor George Osborne and is winding down every year until 2020, when councils will receive nothing.

Traditionally, about half of Cambridgeshire County Council’s annual spending for public services has depended on this support. Here are the recent wind-down figures, and projected figures to the end:

2013-14: £85.869 million
2014-15: £72.017 million
2015-16: £53.669 million
2016-17: £33.347 million
2017-18: £15.312 million
2018-19: £3.915 million
2019-20: £0
