A surge of central Government money will enable Swansea Council to increase spending on all of its day-to-day services from April, and do things like extend the promenade lighting and freeze the price of school meals, but it is likely to represent the high tide mark for years to come, it has been stated.
Councillors have approved a budget put forward by the Labour administration which will pump £535.9m into schools, environment services and other departments in 2022-23, as well as financing borrowing repayments. This net budget is £45m more than the current year.
Schools will receive £179m - nearly £12m more than this year.
