About a quarter of English councils may face funding cuts under new reforms, creating "winners and losers."
Around a quarter of councils in England could lose funding under the government's proposed local authority funding reforms, aimed at addressing perceived funding disparities.
The changes, set to be phased in over three years starting 2026, will create "winners and losers" among councils.
While some councils will see increases of 12% or more, others, including inner London boroughs like Camden and Westminster, might face cuts despite raising council tax to the maximum allowed.
The overall government spending on local authorities will remain unchanged.
