  Council leaders say that government money to run local services next year is nowhere near enough.

The article from MSN discusses the financial challenges faced by Somerset Council, which has declared that the government's recent funding allocation is insufficient to address its budgetary needs. Despite receiving an additional £5.5 million from the government, the council argues that this amount does not cover the increased costs due to inflation, rising demands for services, and other financial pressures. The council, responsible for services like social care, education, and housing, is experiencing a significant budget deficit. This situation has led to considerations of drastic measures such as selling assets, increasing council taxes, or cutting services. The council leader has expressed frustration over the government's failure to provide adequate long-term funding solutions, highlighting a broader issue of local government funding in the UK.
