Why do local elections matter?

Many frontline public services are delivered by local councils. In England, county councils are responsible for functions such as transport, social care and education.

In England, local authorities spent £59.4-billion (net current expenditure) on public services in 2022/23. The largest spending areas were adult social care (£20.5-billion) and children’s social care (£12.8-billion).
