Future Local Growth Funding

The main outcome of this commission is a practical and evidence-based blueprint for future local growth funding. The research should help the LGA articulate what an effective funding framework would look like in a devolving England and how funding arrangements can best support councils, MCAs and CCAs to drive sustainable economic growth in every part of the country.

The research should provide a robust evidence base to inform the LGA's future policy development and engagement with government.

The final report should include:

disadvantages and implementation considerations associated with each approach.

The LGA would welcome recommendations that are practical, deliverable and capable of informing future discussions with government around growth, devolution and local government reform, and in influencing the next spending review. It should be usable to support any wider LGA work related to growth.
