    Bradford Council highlights budget cuts in mid-term financial report

    Bradford Council has drawn attention to government budget cuts in its mid-term financial report.

    This financial year’s projected budget overspend by Bradford Council is now £3.8 million, down from £10.5 million earlier this year.

    The council says that leaders remain concerned by the funding of adult and children’s social care against a background of government budget reductions and rising demand.

    Councils across England will have dealt with £16 billion of government cuts to their grant funding by the end of this decade, according to the Local Government Association (LGA).

    The LGA says local services across the country face a funding gap of at least £5.8 billion by 2019/20, with an immediate £1.3 billion pressure to stabilise the adult social care provider market.
