Overall, fire and rescue authorities will receive around £2.6 billion in 2023/24. Fire and rescue services have the resources they need to do their important work. Standalone fire and rescue authorities will see an increase in core spending power of 8.1 per cent in cash terms compared to 2022/23. DLUHC published the final Local Government Settlement on 6 February 2023 setting out the referendum principles for Local Authorities in 2023/24. All standalone FRAs will be able to increase their Band D council tax by £5. This will raise £67m if all standalone FRAs choose to make full use of the flexibility. The final settlement also confirms that Revenue Support Grant and Baseline Funding Levels will increase in line with September CPI (10.1%). This represents a good deal for fire and rescue and will help to manage their inflationary pressures.
