UK councils hold £9bn in unspent developer funds for public projects, delaying infrastructure despite pledges.
UK councils in England and Wales are holding over £9bn in unspent developer contributions meant for schools, housing, transport, and healthcare, according to the Home Builders Federation.
This includes £6.6bn from Section 106 agreements and £2.2bn from the Community Infrastructure Levy, with £3bn unspent for more than five years.
Delays are linked to staffing shortages, rigid funding rules, and declining compliance.
Despite government pledges and new funding, many councils remain unable to deliver infrastructure projects, raising concerns about progress on national housing targets.
