The Government Grant to Hyndburn Borough Council has fallen from over £10 million in 2010/11 to £6.6 million for 2014/15. This is a drop of over £3.5 million in 4 years or over 30%. The grant is expected to fall even more in subsequent years to £5.4 million in 2015/16 and £4.3 million in 2016/17 and it is expected to continue to fall even further beyond that period.
At the same time Southern Councils have suffered much lower % cuts and some have even had increases in funding
The government is letting Hyndburn, Lancashire and the North down
