is the system of funding local services fundamentally flawed?
consider the following 2 councils
Cardiff
population 360k
area 54 sq miles
budget £656m
Cambridge
population 148k
area 15 sq miles
budget £1041m
How is council tax calculated and by who ?
Do Cambridge residents pay more than Cardiff residents?
How is the central govt grant calculated ?
Does the Senedd add / subtract anything ?
ah ignore that, looks like the budget value for Cambridge is for the whole county which has a population of about 650k
I thought the figures looked a bit odd 👍
