In recent years, town halls have begun declaring bankruptcy at an unprecedented rate, with Conservative-run Thurrock council issuing a Section 114 notice, which freezes all non-essential spending, in 2022, followed by Lib Dem-led Woking earlier this year.
Labour-run Croydon and Slough also issued notices in 2022 and 2021 respectively, after Tory-led Northamptonshire's hand was forced in 2018, the first bankruptcy in nearly two decades following the demise of Labour-run Hackney in 2000. MailOnline can today reveal the remarkable spending that was allowed to be unleashed at these seven councils.
