Most vulnerable are biggest losers as millions slashed from Greater Manchester councils.
Manchester council will lose short of just £1m, whilst Salford faces the second biggest cut in the country losing £2.3m.
The Local Government Association (LGA) has said that two-thirds of the 375 councils in England and Wales will have to make cuts next year to fill a spending gap.
The Association said the cash crisis includes a £2.6billion shortfall to fund social care.
Other councils across the region set to miss out include, Bolton losing £234,000 and Tameside £29,000. However, other councils will see an increase in their budgets, with Oldham receiving the most at £995,000. Wigan will also see a welcome boost of £844,000, Rochdale £686,000, Stockport £666,000, Bury £413,000 and Trafford £197,000.
Jane Brophy, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester, said: “Health and social care is one of the biggest growing concerns of today and if these cuts go ahead, vulnerable and elderly people will suffer, services will struggle and we will fail to meet their basic needs such as washing, dressing or getting out of bed.
“The sad reality is without more investment in local authorities and our health service, those who rely on care will not be treated with the dignity they deserve.”
The government also announced a £240m “adult social care support grant” for councils funded through a raid on the New Homes Bonus, but the LGA says more than 200 councils will not receive any New Homes Bonus payments as they have to achieve 0.4% growth in order to receive this payment.
The LGA also warned that without additional central government money there will be further cuts to libraries, parks, children’s centres, bus routes and road maintenance.
