Policy in Practice has been commissioned by the Greater London Authority to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 hardship fund allocations to London Boroughs to understand how effective the additional funds will be in helping Londoners to meet their council tax liability.
Our analysis found that, although all London Boroughs will welcome this additional funding, their ability to support residents will vary depending on their current CTR scheme and their current CT charge.
This broad approach to allocating the new support will leave individual local authorities with very different amounts of discretionary support.
