A number of local councils in England, including Birmingham, Nottingham and Croydon, have effectively declared themselves “bankrupt” in recent years, and many more are at risk. A decade of cuts to local authority budgets and increasing demands on services such as social care are forcing councils to make difficult financial decisions. But it’s not just inner-city councils in low-income areas whose threadbare services are overwhelmed.
Last year we published a report on the rising, yet often hidden, problem of rural homelessness. Our findings show how cuts to local funding and services are affecting people and driving a rise in homelessness in the countryside.

The former England international has now had his say on where things went wrong, admitting he did not have the “right people” around him at a young age.
“When you are making a lot of money, you need the right people,” Brown told the Ben Heath Podcast.

high debt servicing costs a growing challenge for low-income countries.
Financing pressures due to relatively high interest payments and the pace
at which low-income countries need to repay debt are straining budgets.

prosperity, and build climate resilience.
One important metric is the share of revenues the government collects from

Rubio’s is hoping its third act will set it on a path toward profitability. Last week, the chain declared bankruptcy for the second time in four years. It first went bankrupt in 2020 due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Dec. 30, 2020, Rubio’s emerged from its first bankruptcy with less outstanding debt and an improved store footprint, wrote Nicholas Rubin, Rubio’s chief restructuring officer, in a document filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. But ongoing macroeconomic headwinds pushed the chain back into a financial crisis and its balance sheet needs further restructuring to satisfy its debt obligations.
