Bridgend County Borough Council's leader Huw David has warned of potential budget cuts ahead with its finances and services described as being under "immense strain".
The council has said it faces "an unprecedented financial challenge" over the coming years, and estimates that spending reductions of up to £20m in the 2023-24 financial period may be required to balance its budget.
The local authority currently supports about 800 services, ranging from education and social services for children and older people, to regeneration projects and support for the homeless. It will now begin to consult with members of the public as part of its budget setting process to get views on what they consider to be the priority areas for allocating the budget for the forthcoming financial year.
