It has never been more important for branches to understand council finance. Guides are being produced for each of the devolved nations. This guide has been written to help branches and activists in England to understand the council’s finances and why council tax freezes and cuts are a bad idea, so that you can argue with your employers and elected representatives for alternatives to cuts and redundancies from a position of knowledge and strength.

The guidance will assist in conducting ‘safe’ secondment arrangements, which we feel are still viable options but must be done with care. Download the guidance (PDF)
