Exceptional Financial Support. Enfield was agreed support by government for 2025-26 (£10.0m). Support is permission to borrow, or to spend capital receipts, on day-to-day services because the council could not otherwise set a balanced budget. Councils in this position tend to cut services and raise council tax by the most the rules allow.
