SUMMARY:Signpost Event: Funding public services: postcode lotteries or local responsibilities?
DESCRIPTION:Where should decisions on our taxes and public services be taken? Should services be funded on a comparable basis nationally from national taxes? Or should councils and other local public sector organisations have responsibility for funding services in their area\, and discretion over what to spend and how to raise their revenues? Is more local responsibility a good thing that will empower communities to improve and tailor services? Or does it simply risk worsening ‘postcode lotteries’ in access to services and the taxes we pay? Would it address concerns\, implicated in the Brexit vote\, that decisions are made by a distant and out-of-touch elite? Or would it widen inequalities\, breeding further political divisions? \nThese questions and more will be discussed at a presentation and debate hosted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies and Birmingham University. \nTo find out more about this event and sign up follow this link.
