<p>The Government publishes Core Spending Power (CSP) as a measure of the resources
available to local authorities to fund service delivery. <br> <br>This year’s Local
Government Finance Settlement (LGFS), including a breakdown of CSP for each local
authority going back to 2015/16 can be found in the supporting information document

are committed to putting funding where there is relative need, irrespective of the
location. For 2021/22, councils in the most deprived areas of the country (the upper
decile of the Index of Multiple Deprivation) receive 16 per cent more in CSP than
the least deprived areas.</p><p><br>Core Spending Power was introduced in 2015. Comparisons
before that date do not apply, because the system of local government finance changed,
councils’ responsibilities changed and because grants have been incorporated into
the annual Settlement over time.</p><p>CSP shows the funding provided through the
Settlement, but councils will have access to a number of other grants provided by
Government departments as well as other sources of income not in CSP such as from
Sales, Fees, and Charges and commercial income.</p><p>Please find relevant links to
