Recommendation 37
37
Require the new funding formula to consider sub-ward disparities and local housing costs.
Recommendation
The Government’s new funding formula must consider the effect of disparities between wards and sub-wards within single local authorities, which can be hidden when only considering the data at the level of whole local authorities. Measures of deprivation used in the new funding formula must account for local housing costs. (Recommendation, Paragraph 133) 78
