MHCLG local government finance statistics

Council money

What your council owes, who it borrowed from, what it spends on each service, what it holds in reserve and what it charges you — every figure from MHCLG's own returns, for every English local authority, with borrowing back to 2010. Authorities of different classes run different services: in two-tier areas the county runs social care and education and the district runs housing, bins and planning.
