Some of England’s most-deprived councils to get funding boost in new deal

Manchester, Bradford and outer London boroughs among those to receive increases ministers hope will restore pride'

Some of England's most-deprived councils will receive a funding boost under a new three-year local government deal which prioritises urban areas with high social needs at the expense of affluent places in the leafy south-east.

Manchester, Birmingham, Luton, Bradford, Coventry, Derby and outer London boroughs such as Haringey and Enfield will receive big spending power increases under what ministers have described as a fairer system that will restore pride and opportunity in left-behind places".
