Councils get news on cash settlement for next year
Western Mail
|November 25, 2025
THE amount of money councils in Wales will get from Welsh Government in the next financial year has been announced.
There is an average 2.7% funding increase and no council receives less than a 2.3% increase compared to last year.
The council which gets the biggest rise in funding is Newport, which gets 4.3% more than last year.
Newport's overall population has risen, and school age population, which have both seen it get more this year.
In total, councils will receive £6.4bn from the Welsh Government next year.
Councils in Wales get money from a range of places, but the biggest is the Welsh Government's revenue support grant, which is determined on a needs-based formula. In 2024-25 that was 44% of council funding. There are then grants (24%) and non-domestic rates (11%). A fifth of funding in that year (20%) was from council tax, and 1% of funding was from reserves.
