Core Cities UK believes it is time for a new, radical ways of looking at how we pay for the vital services like bins, social care and parks that millions of people in our cities rely on and enjoy.

There's widespread acceptance that the current model of local government funding is completely broken, a system that is unfair, opaque and ridiculously complex.

Core Cities UK will always argue the case for cities, we believe that they face their own severe pressures and that investment in them is the best way to create a more productive and fairer Britain.
