Emergency funding won’t be enough for West Sussex councils to cover financial cost of coronavirus
West Sussex councils have warned that their share of a £1.6bn pot of government money will only provide short-term help in dealing with the financial cost of Covid-19.
The county council will receive almost £16m in this second wave of funding, on top of the £20.5m received earlier this month.
Elsewhere, there will be £635k for Adur, £1.6m for Arun, £1.2m for Chichester, £1.1m for Crawley, £1.4m for Horsham, £1.49m for Mid Sussex, and £1.09m for Worthing.
