QNR – Senedd Cymru ar 29 Mehefin 2022.
The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 put in place a new performance regime to drive improvement in local authorities across Wales. Alongside this I have agreed £800,000 funding for the WLGA Improvement Programme to support corporate improvement within councils.
This year, the Government is providing unhypothecated revenue funding of over £5.1 billion and over £1 billion in specific grant funding to support local authorities in the delivery of their statutory and non statutory services.
As part of our £380m cost-of-living support package, we have provided £25m to local authorities to enable them to provide discretionary support to households. Authorities can decide how to use this funding to best meet the needs of people in their areas.
Following our announcement in February of a £152m cost-of-living support scheme, I am pleased to say that, as at 26 June, £116.4m has already reached the pockets of the eligible households.
