The leader of the Labour group in Rhondda Cynon Taf has outlined their priorities should they be chosen to lead the council for another five years. Andrew Morgan, who has led the council over the last five years having first become leader in 2014, spoke about the 20 key commitments that Labour are making to the people of RCT ahead of the elections on May 5 this year.
He said one of their main commitments as a Labour group is the stability of the council in terms of finances. “I think it’s going to be really important over the next couple of years because we have no idea what’s going to happen with funding.
“We’re seeing that funding does slow down. We had a big settlement increase this year, it slows down next year. It slows down quite dramatically the following year.” He said they don’t know yet if they could be heading back to a time of austerity or cash flat settlements in the future.
