Local Government Secretary has today (Thursday 22 October) confirmed allocations
for individual councils from the £1 billion of additional support
announced by the Prime Minister earlier this month.
Over £900 million of this funding will be provided to councils
for their ongoing work to support communities during the
pandemic. It brings the total funding given to councils since the
start of the pandemic, to help with spending pressures, to £5.7
billion including a £1.1 billion Infection Control Fund.
To address the ongoing challenges local authority leisure centres
are facing, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
has also confirmed today £100 million will be used to introduce a
new fund which will support council leisure centres most in need.
Further details on the scheme will be set out shortly.
These funds are part of an unprecedented package of support for
councils, which also includes up to £465 million through the new
Local Alert Level system, £300 million to support Test and Trace
and £30 million for enforcement and compliance. Councils can also
claim funding through a compensation scheme for lost income from
sales, fees and charges.
Local Government Secretary Rt Hon MP said:
“Since the start of the pandemic, we have backed local councils
with the funding they need to support their communities, protect
vital services and recover lost income.
“This extra £1 billion funding will ensure that councils have the
resources that they need over the winter and continue to play an
essential role on the front line of our response to the virus
while protecting the most vulnerable and supporting local
businesses.”
Culture Secretary said:
"It's vital that we keep ourselves fighting fit through the
winter months and local authority leisure centres are crucial to
this. This £100 million fund will help keep leisure centres
across the country open. I urge leisure centres to bid for the
money and people to make the most of these precious local
facilities."
Spending pressure funding has been allocated based on levels of
population and deprivation, whilst also considering the amount of
funding each council has received from the Government so far. All
councils will receive a minimum of £100,000.
Recognising that councils are best placed to decide how to meet
pressures in their local area, this funding has not been
ringfenced. The Government has asked councils use this funding to
prioritise the running of vital services and protecting the most
vulnerable and public health.

Notes to Editors
- The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is
working closely with Sport England and the Ministry of Housing,
Communities and Local Government on the design of the £100
million scheme for local authority leisure centres. Further
details will be released shortly.
- Over £900 million will be provided to councils for spending
pressures. The allocations of this funding are below and will be
published at on Gov.uk from 00:01 on Thursday 22 October:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-emergency-funding-for-local-government
- In July we announced an unprecedented guarantee that the
Devolved Administrations would receive at least £12.7 billion in
additional resource funding this year to help them respond to
Covid-19.
- We have now uplifted that by £1.3 billion, to at least £14
billion. This means a total increase this year of at least £7.2
billion for the Scottish Government, £4.4 billion for the Welsh
Government and £2.4 billion for the Northern Ireland Executive,
on top of their Spring Budget 20 funding.
- It is for the devolved administrations to decide how to use
this funding irrespective of how UK government provides support
in England.
