What a 'Section 114' notice means for residents: cuts to discretionary services like parks and libraries, plus massive council tax hikes.
If the council goes bankrupt, what differences would residents see?
Councils can’t actually go bankrupt, but their equivalent is declaring ‘Section 114’. We understand that once that happens, how the council spends money changes – and the council’s Monitoring Officer and the Chief Finance Officer become responsible for signing off all spending. We have asked them what plans they have: the Monitoring Officer has said he can’t say because discussions are still ongoing with the government, and the Chief Finance Officer didn’t reply to either of our enquiries.

Hey! I just signed a petition calling on the UN to Companies like Shell make billions turning oil and gas into plastic - so they’re trying to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action on plastic pollution. Let’s stop them! act.gp/3YxOUXa
Kick Big Oil Out of Plastics Talks
Fossil fuel companies want to keep flooding our home with plastic for profit. They’re trying to block action to tackle plastic pollution - we must stop them.

Our pollinators here in the UK are dropping rapidly, partly due to how many pesticides we use. France has banned pesticides from towns and cities, and many other European nations are trying too. Join me and tell the UK government to follow suit and protect our pollinators: act.gp/41dxd0E
ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators.
The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.
