00:00Conservative leader Kemi Badenok says she has instructed lawyers to examine whether the
00:06government can be challenged over funding changes affecting a conservative-run council.
00:12She says changes could reduce the council's funding by 40%, leaving it facing a 94% rise
00:18in council tax. Badenok says they are unfair, claiming money is being taken from areas that
00:25do not vote Labour and given to areas that do. The council in question, Wandsworth, ended
00:31up with no overall control in this year's local elections, with the Conservatives scraping
00:36by as the largest party. The Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government has
00:42been contacted for comment.
