On Thursday the Government announced the fourth slice of COVID-19 funding for local councils.

• Cambridgeshire County Council is set to receive almost £5M, bringing its total to date to almost £35M.
• East Cambridgeshire District Council will receive £100,000, bringing its total to date to £1.16M.

This confirms the details by council of the Chancellor’s announcement earlier this month.

Cambridgeshire County Council has already indicated that it faces a funding gap of at least £40M next year.
