The Secretary of State recognises the importance of parks and green spaces in building safer, stronger and more integrated communities and announced on 17 February £9.7 million funding for local authorities. The fund will be allocated directly to all local authorities with the expectation that they undertake remedial work and renovation of existing parks to enhance the green spaces available to their local communities. This direct funding to local authorities will enable them to target funds to those parks in need of greatest support and repair. We intend to confirm individual local authority allocations and transfer the funds before the end of March<\/p>
The Government has also been expanding our existing £1 million Pocket Parks Plus programme by a further £2.75 million, to respond to the large numbers of high-quality applications we have received from communities across the country. The programme will provide funding for hundreds of community-led projects either to develop new parks or to renovate existing parks that have fallen into disuse through disrepair. By increasing both the number of new parks and improving the standard of existing parks, communities have better access to good quality green spaces.<\/p>"}

The Government recognises that local authorities value certainty, which is why we agreed a multi year settlement for local government worth over £200 billion in the five years to 2020, that was accepted by 97 per cent of councils in return for publishing efficiency plans. Where there is evidence of increasing pressures in certain areas, the Government has determined it has been right to provide additional funding. Specifically, at Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced an additional £650 million for social care in 2019-20. This includes £240 million of to support adult social care services to reduce winter pressures on the NHS, in addition to the £240 million provided for 2018-19, and £410 million for local authorities to support adults and children\u2019s social care services.<\/p>
In the long term, the Spending Review will determine funding for local government from 2020-21 onwards and will enable us to look at local government spending in the round.<\/p>"}

The Government is undertaking a review of the relative needs and resources of local authorities in England, with a view to setting fresh baseline funding levels in 2020-21. We are working closely with local government representatives and others to consider the drivers of local authorities\u2019 costs, the resources available locally to fund services, and how we should account for these in a way that draws a more transparent and understandable link between local circumstances and resource allocations.<\/p>
In December 2018 the Government published a consultation paper, which set out a proposed approach to assessing the relative needs of local authorities. Our analysis has shown that for many universal services, the number of people in each local authority area is the most important predictor of the costs that councils face in delivering those services. The consultation therefore proposes the introduction of a simple population-based Foundation Formula to account for many of the universal services that local authorities deliver, alongside several specific funding formulas for some of the largest and most complex service areas.<\/p>
To understand whether including additional \u2018cost drivers\u2019, including deprivation, significantly improves the precision of the Foundation Formula, a comparison was made between the amount of variation in past expenditure that was explained by different combinations of cost drivers, to the total amount of variation in expenditure. The basis on which this comparison was made is set out in pages 19 to 21 of the consultation paper (link below). Whilst, in aggregate terms, deprivation was not shown to be a major cost driver for the services included in the Foundation Formula, to ensure that deprivation is appropriately accounted for in the relative needs assessment, deprivation, or a suitable proxy for deprivation, is taken into account in four of the service-specific formulas that were proposed.<\/p>
