-DIFFICULT DECISIONS 2019/20. (from Cllr John McCusker
Early in October, the Welsh Government announced its provisional budget settlement, which breaks down how much money will go into public services across Wales. The final settlement will be announced in December and continual lobbying will be made to both the Welsh and UK Governments.
Very basically Wrexham Council has to find an additional £9m this year to balance the books and we anticipate a similar amount the following year. This will equate to a £60m cut from Welsh Government in the last 10 years down to £175m a MASSIVE cut. There are some areas that we legally have to provide a service; things such as social care for adults and children, and schools / education. We don’t have the choice of doing nothing. Services are going to have to change and cuts made.
There is currently a consultation which started 24th October and ends 28th November
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY

The key questions asked in this consultation are based on Income
Waste services [bin collection ] - Libraries - Faith School transport - Council Tax
These are the main items for focus but other suggestions are welcome.
