    Next year’s council budget is set to go up to of £365.777 million after the council were told they would receive a 3.2 per cent increase in funding from the Welsh Government just before Christmas. However due to a deal done yesterday by the Liberal Democrats, this funding is increasing to 3.8%.

    To balance next year’s budget a funding gap of £24.151 million needs to be plugged. Of that figure £12.287 million of this will be addressed by the council in a mixture of cuts, savings, and income generation. The Council Tax increase is supposed to cover the remaining amount.
