Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea and Wandsworth councils challenge £100m funding cut

Council leaders from Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea and Wandsworth sent a letter to the Prime Minister on 20 August, warning that the Fairer Funding Review will strip £108 million, £100 million and £84 million respectively over four years. They intend to use legal powers to contest the cuts, while residents face possible tax hikes and service reductions.
