Bridgend councillors vote to freeze council tax despite calls for reduction

Council members have voted to freeze council tax next year despite calls for a "modest reduction".

Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) yesterday met and agreed on the final budget proposals put to them.

As well as a freeze on council tax, councillors agreed to contribute £2.5 million of its £495 million gross budget to ensure care workers receive a Real Living Wage.
