County set for council tax rise after 'shortfall' in central funding
Daily Post
|January 19, 2026
COUNCIL tax in Denbighshire is set to increase, with the authority citing another budget shortfall.
Denbighshire County Council’s (DCC) cabinet is set to discuss Welsh Government's Provisional Funding Settlement for Local Government 2026/27 at a meeting this week.
The council is set to receive an increase of £10.841m or 5% - although DCC insists around £4.797m has been allocated for externally set staff pay increases. Consequently, Denbighshire’s actual percentage rise is currently estimated as 2.7%, the ninth highest rise in Wales.
