Council Tax 2019/20

Report of the Director of Finance and Corporate Services enclosed.

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Finance, gave an overview of the circulated report, and emphasised the requirement to confirm that all of the expenses incurred by the Local Authority applied across the whole of the County Borough.

 

Members discussed the percentage increase of the Council Tax for 2019/20, and noted that this was much lower than the increases across other Welsh Local Authorities. Areas of deprivation were discussed, and the need for greater investment in all areas. Members felt there was a need to lobby Welsh Government and the UK Government for a better Local Government settlement as well as a fairer distribution formula on behalf of local communities.
