📢 Exciting Updates for Cardiff Residents! 🎉
Big news on the financial front for Cardiff! 🎯 Cardiff Council has announced there’s no need to worry about cuts to front-line services for the 2026/27 budget, even with a hefty £22.7m funding gap lurking in the background. Thanks to a generous 4.2% boost from the Welsh Government, the council is strategising smartly to keep services intact.
The council is focusing on streamlining “back-office efficiencies” and ramping up income generation to plug the budget gap. However, the finer details on council tax adjustments are still to come. 💸
