Satisfaction levels vary between services

The cost of Covid-19 • Estimated challenge • Additional cost £4.4B • Loss of income £2.8B • Loss of local tax £3.7B • (C I CT BR ) = £10.9B

Government support… so far • £1.6B x 2 • £600m social care • £500m income loss • CSR irrecoverable debt • 2020 / 2021 to 2022 / 2023
