Have your say - Budget Consultation 2025 / 2026
Published: 21/10/2024
For well over a decade all councils in the UK have faced considerable financial challenges because of year on year underfunding from national governments.
Over this time 天涯社区 has cut it's spending by more than 拢125m.听
68% of the funding 天涯社区 receives comes from Welsh Government and per head of population we are ranked 20 out of 22 councils in Wales for the money we receive to deliver services.听
Every year it gets harder and we share our concerns that the gap between the money we are given and what we need to spend may be too big, but with a lot of hard work and some difficult decisions we just about manage to do it.听
Leader of 天涯社区, Councillor Dave Hughes, said:听
鈥淥ver this time we've exhausted all the easy options to cut spending and we've also exhausted the moderate to difficult options.听 Without any additional funding from Welsh Government we are at a serious, critical stage where we are left with only hard choices that will significantly impact our residents and workforce.听
鈥淎lthough we are working hard to identify solutions, it's no exaggeration when we say that 2025/26 may be year when we can't close the gap.鈥澨�
