The biggest drop lay in the conservation and listed building policy subsector \u2013 from \u00a344m to \u00a336m.\u00a0 Income generation for combined heritage also fell from \u00a3120m in 2010\/11 to \u00a3107m in 2011\/12. The report also analyses expenditure and revenues in the 20 largest (heritage) spending local authorities. In this table Manchester tops the list with a reported current expenditure (2011\/12) of just over \u00a315m followed by the City of London with over \u00a312m.<\/p>\n<p>Analysing the case studies, the HLF finds that a\u00a0sense of fragility persists. The cuts inevitably reduce LA capacity, although some officers feel this is compensated for by more efficient structures and new partnerships. Less strong LAs remain nervous about the future, and even in stronger LAs officers warn that further cuts would inflict real damage.<\/p>\n<p>For further information contact the HLF research team\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:research@hlf.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">research@hlf.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HLF article<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hlf.org.uk\/aboutus\/howwework\/Pages\/Developingourstrategy.aspx#\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2010 the Heritage Lottery Fund has looked at the pattern of local authority spending, and the latest report \u2018Local Authority funding for heritage: 2013 update (England and Scotland)\u2019 also reviews six local authorities in more detail.
