Abstract

This briefing assesses the "social impact" of the 2018-19 local government budget by analysing how council savings plans are distributed between "Pro-Poor", "Neutral" and "Pro-Rich" services. It updates previous briefings with the most recent figures, and provides a three-year analysis of data, as well as setting out case studies. It is the result of a joint project between SPICe, the University of Glasgow and Heriot Watt University, funded by SPICe and the University of Glasgow.
