One of London’s boroughs is saying pleas for government funding are falling on “deaf ears”.

Authorities in London are to split £218m, with the amounts varying from £14.5m in Tower Hamlets, down to £1.5m in Richmond.

Redbridge told the Standard that they “made it very clear” to the government they’re expecting a financial hit of £60m.

Most authorities in Surrey are to receive grants around £100,000.

Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick says the extra £1bn will “ensure councils have the resources they need over the winter”.
