The government said:
"Over March and April 2020, the government provided £3.2 billion of emergency grant funding and over £5 billion of cashflow support to support local authorities through Covid-19.
"On 2 July 2020, the Secretary of State announced a new set of support measures, including:
- a new scheme to reimburse councils for lost income from sales, fees, and charges
- changes enabling local authorities to spread their tax deficits over 3 years rather than the usual one
- a further £500 million of un-ringfenced funding to respond to spending pressures
"On 22 October 2020, the Secretary of State announced allocations of a further £919 million of a further un-ringfenced funding to respond to spending pressures.
"This is part of a package of further support for councils worth over £1 billion."
But Lewes District Council's leader James MacCleary responded:
"I'm sure no one will be falling for this, but once again the government have dreamt up a big sounding number that they know goes nowhere near covering the cost of Covid-19 to this or any other council.
"Council staff have gone above and beyond throughout the Covid-19 crisis and this latest derisory handout makes a mockery of the government's promise to meet the costs incurred by councils."
