Whitehall officials are not expecting councils to issue further section 114 notices in the coming weeks, crediting the sector’s ‘positive’ settlement for an improved outlook.

Speaking at a select committee hearing yesterday, permanent secretary at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), Jeremy Pocklington, discussed the sector’s finances ahead of what is likely to be a difficult year marred by continued inflation, pay disputes, cost pressures and soaring demand.

Mr Pocklington told MPs: ‘Our assessment looking at the sector as a whole is that the financial position is sustainable.

'It has been strengthened by the additional resources made available in the Autumn Statement.’

 DLUHC’s director general for local government, Catherine Frances, added: ‘I’m not aware of anyone who is about to issue a section 114 notice.’
