Bridgend council agrees to 4.9% council tax increase with 2% cut to education budget

The final budget for Bridgend has been approved by Bridgend County Borough Council this week, after lengthy discussions by members at a full council meeting on March 1.

The final budget for 2023-2024, which has been described as a "Wellbeing budget" by council bosses, came after considerable discussion between cabinet and opposition members, before eventually being passed by a vote of 26 to 20.

It will now consist of a gross revenue budget of £485 million, a net budget of £342 million, and an additional capital investment programme of £69 million.
