Monmouthshire council tax rise - have your say

The proposed council tax increase would see bills for a band D property increase by £68.35 a year, or £1.31 a week. At a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, council leader Cllr Peter Fox welcomed a 3.9 per cent increase in funding from the Welsh Government in its provisional settlement, but he said the authority still receives the least funding per person in Wales. “It was slightly refreshing for the first time in many, many years to see us receive around the average settlement which is a far better position than last year,” he said. But Cllr Fox added that “a high percentage of not a lot is still not a lot”.

Gwent council leaders respond to funding for 2021-22

Monmouthshire Monmouthshire Council received the lowest increase for the 2020-21 financial year, but are above the 3.8 per cent average increase proposed for the next year. The leader of the council Peter Fox has previously been critical about how the funding is calculated and how much the county receives. However, this year Cllr Fox said he was “pleased that the role of local government in this extraordinary year has been recognised by Welsh Government”. He said: “The above average increase will at the very least give the council some additional flexibility to respond to the unprecedented strain on the council’s finances and the choices it makes when setting the budget for next year.
