Despite routinely carrying out important and vital work to support their communities, local councils are facing significant funding challenges.

We are carrying out a Freedom of Information request to try and ascertain the scale of the funding challenge that local councils are facing in the medium-term future. Please can you answer the following questions:

1. What is your current predicted funding gap by the end of the financial year 2025/26?

2. What is your current predicted net revenue budget for the financial year 2025/26?

3. What is your current predicted cumulative funding gap by the end of the financial year 2026/27? (the total combined predicted funding gap of the financial years 2025/26 and 2026/27)

4. What is your current predicted net revenue budget for the financial year 2026/27?
