How Do We Spend It?

In the last three years council taxpayers in Southwark have benefited from some of the smallest increases to their council tax bills in the whole of London.

Our vision is to make Southwark a better place to live, learn, work and have fun. Over the last year we have been working to make this happen by targeting resources at our five key priorities

Cutting crime and fear of crime
Making Southwark cleaner and greener
Improving the health of the borough
Raising standards in schools
Tackling poverty

Spending on education makes up two fifths of the council's revenue budget and there are key government expectations about how we spend our money in this area.
