Councillor Shaun Davies has warned that financial pressure will result in some tough decisions being made.
The council’s cabinet held its first meeting since the local elections were held last month when council leader Shaun Davies warned of the pressures the council was facing, while promising to keep council tax low for the forthcoming term.
“I will make no apology that we will always put the financial stability of this council at the heart of what we do. We will keep our council tax the lowest in the country as we have done in the last six years, with the exception of the royal borough of Windsor. He congratulated the previous cabinet member for finance, Councillor Rae Evans, who had overseen the balanced budget for the financial year 2022/23.
“These pressures were offset by active management of budgets to generate underspends from most other directorate, by using the £3.95m budgeted contingency together with just under £4m from treasury management and some use from one-off funds.”
