The UK government has announced an emergency funding boost of £600 million for councils in England, including Kent County Council, with £500 million earmarked specifically for child and adult social care services. This development has been welcomed by various Members of Parliament (MPs), including Joy Morrissey MP, who highlighted the importance of support for children with neurodiversity at a National Autistic Society event. Selaine Saxby MP expressed satisfaction with the additional funding, having written to the Minister about local council funding issues. Robert Syms MP noted that the funding should assist BCP Council, with details expected on February 2nd. Dr. Luke Evans MP met with the Local Government Minister, Chancellor, and East Midlands MPs to discuss community priorities, including SEND funding and support for businesses, and secured a meeting for Leicestershire County Council leadership to discuss funding further.
Today I had the opportunity to speak with @APAICS about the importance of diversity in government. It is essential that every community has a seat at the legislative table, and I look forward to seeing all that these future leaders will accomplish. https://t.co/tT0o8QLLjE
