"A labour run council, that’s not a good sign for the future economy.
Same old story,experts at wasting other people's money."
What about Thurrock council, which is basically bankrupt too? And broader still, how is the national debt since 2010, anyways?

Going to be worse now in Birmingham with non essential services cut.
Its already bad enough. There has been alot of big cases of children getting killed and neglected because of cut backs and can only see things getting worse.
How can alarms bells not start ringing when you are 100 or 200 million in debt?
People that run the council getting paid alot need to get sacked.

Most Local councils have limited headroom with expenditure so exceptional costs, for which they cannot borrow, have a huge impact.
They receive around 75% of their money from central Government so the political leanings of the national government can have a massive effect on their finances.
After 13 years in power the Conservative Government will have hammered Labour controlled councils hard as it carries the twin benefit if reducing their own spending whilst damaging the electability of their opposition in the local council. |

This is more about the equal pay case and having to basically back pay the best part of 25 years worth to every single woman where there was a discrepancy….
The actual running of the council itself.. there are/were councils in a worse position.. most have already been mentioned… Northamptonshire county council, Kent county council to name but 2… but because almost all of the big offenders were conservative run councils, they were basically bailed out by the government allowing them to borrow on future revenue |

The last 5 years of bankrupt councils:
Woking - Lib Dem
Thurrock, Northamptonshire - Tory
Birmingham, slough, Croydon - Lab
All funded by U.K govt grants as well as council tax and commercial rates, but sure, it’s party politics to blame. |

There was no feet there. It was a simple question mate.
I don't believe I asked if we were blaming them entirely  |

Well, no, they're not really managing. There's a growing list of councils in a dire situation and it's getting worse. |

Not really. No one who disagree would accept my 'painting' and no one who agrees would need it. However, 5 mins research into local government funding would be a start. |

What's more embarrassing I'd that.
It's driven by equal pay dispute. Which only dates back to around the 2010s.
Not a good look.
Labour Council failing to pay women( though its own leader can't even say what a woman is) equal to men.
Absolutely appalling. |

looking at sky news list
Hackney. 2000. Labour
Northamptonshire. 1998. Tory
Slough. 2021. Labour
Thurrock. 2022. Tory
Croydon. 2022. Labour
Northumbria. 2022 labour I think.
Working. Tory.
Birmingham. 2023. Still unsure who's watch this was on given history.

"Is it a case of a left leaning council paying the price of funding woke projects
What woke projects?
Probably means giving equal pay to women."
Wasn't it mainly to do with bonus payments?
Surely if there are two jobs at the same grade and one gets bonus payments (and the other doesn't) if you want the payments, do the job that is paid them.
Don't do the other one then moan. |

"No surprise really.
Councils are terrible at budgeting and managing their local economy.
And no surprise given its labour run
When you read this post and then immediately after read FunFella’s post with the list of councils, you can’t help but think “Morley’s post didn’t age well!”
Why didn't it.
Please expand.
“No surprise given it’s Labour run” followed by a list that includes Tory and Lib Dem councils. The Labour dig wasn’t required. Your first point was sufficient and correct.
Laboru run councils are usually the ones going bankrupt. Thisn isn't new.
Are they? I know how you like lists out of context so can you provide one now showing all councils that have gone bankrupt and which party was in charge. If the vast majority are Labour then you win
Such a list doesn't exist
Oh yes it does
Oh no it doesn't
He’s behind you
Oh no he's not
Seriously though, there is no such list.
Why?
Because there are no bankrupt councils.
But Morley says they are usually Labour so there must be a list and they must be bankrupt right?
I guarantee there's no list. This one I'm definitely right on. Not often I can say that "
I think we best ask Morley. He’ll know! |

The six councils most likely to be next in issuing a section 114 notice, according to the local government source, are Bradford (Bradford), Devon (Conservative), Guildford (Lib Dem since 2023, Conservative 2003-2019), Hastings (Labour), Kent (Conservative), and Southampton (Labour). |

You tell me but based on this thread it isn’t far of 50/50 so the implication of what you said was that only Labour run councils go bankrupt which is demonstrably not true. |
