Minister's £1.75 million top-up for Northamptonshire's vulnerable adults 'will have minimum impact', says county council A Local Government Settlement meant to address the prospect of collapsing councils will barely help Northamptonshire, County Hall has said.
Council leaders have been unsuccessful in attempts to persuade local government secretary Sajid Javid to loosen the purse strings and give the county appropriate funds for its growing population.
Huge bills for adult social care - as well as fixing the historically troubled children's service - have helped bring it to the brink of bankruptcy.
But an anticipated announcement from Mr Javid about extra money for all councils to deal with adult social care has been given a response that is, at best, lukewarm by council bosses. Northamptonshire Telegraph
