The broken link between tax and service quality is leading to growing dissatisfaction and risks undermining trust in local democracy. We're calling on the Government to address the financial crisis in local government and give councils more power to control their own affairs.

As we heard at our recent evidence session on property management companies, action is long overdue to address concerns around excessive service charges, poor communication and unresolved maintenance problems. We will be keeping a close watch on the Government’s progress.
Leaseholders across the country are at the mercy of opaque and unaffordable service charges and unscrupulous managing agents. Today, Labour is acting to protect leaseholders from service charge abuse and ensure landlords and managing agents are robustly held to account.
