LGA Local Government MPs and Peers Survey

Survey of MPs and Peers on behalf of the LGA on local government funding and powers.

A recent ComRes poll commissioned by the LGA found that the vast majority of parliamentarians (MPs 86 per cent and Peers 89 per cent) agree that councils should have more financial powers and freedoms. The majority of parliamentarians (MPs 84 per cent and Peers 81 per cent) also agree that additional funding should go to councils’ social care budgets to tackle the funding crisis.
