Through the Local Government Finance Settlement, East Sussex Council will have available over £1.8 billion of core spending power over the spending review period (2015/16 to 2019-20). Funding provided through the settlement is largely unringfenced. Decisions about funding priorities for local services are rightly for local areas to take.
