Area Based Grants

Area Based Grant is a general grant allocated directly to local authorities as additional revenue funding to areas. It is allocated according to specific policy criteria rather than general formulae. Local authorities are free to use all of this non-ringfenced funding as they see fit to support the delivery of local, regional and national priorities in their areas.

区域基础拨款系一项普遍的财政补助，直接分配给地方当局，作为额外的收入资金以支持特定区域。该拨款依据特定的政策标准而非一般公式进行分配。地方当局有权根据自身判断，自由运用全部非指定用途的资金，以支持其在区域内实施地方、区域及国家优先事项的落实。
