Internal Drainage Board Levy Support Grant
- At the local government finance settlement on 9 February 2026, the Government confirmed the £5 million internal drainage board levy support grant for the financial year 2026-27. This is a continuation of the grant from 2025-26, reflecting the Government’s recognition of the continued financial pressures special levies place on local authorities.Today, I am confirming the allocation of this funding to the 17 local authorities most severely impacted by internal drainage board special levies. Councils and internal drainage boards are encouraged to continue working together to deliver services efficiently and ensure good value for money for the public.
