Council funding boost miserly – Tory Senedd leader

Rural councils are disproportionately impacted by the Welsh government’s draft budget, according to the Welsh Conservatives.

Darren Millar, the party’s leader in the Senedd, told BBC Politics Wales the 4.3% increase in funding for local government was “miserly”.

The Welsh Local Government Association, which represents councils, had been asking for funding to plug a £559m hole in 2025-6, projected to increase to over £1bn over two years.

First Minister Eluned Morgan said the uplift was on top of a “massive chunk of money” councils had already been given this year and, therefore, they had had “significantly more” than 4.3% over two years.
