budget for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Monday leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, Neil Moore said: \u201cThis is the worst scenario that I\u2019ve ever seen in terms of cost pressures.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

outlined the impact of the Covid pandemic on both lost income and additional expenditure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the council won&#8217;t know how much funding they&#8217;ll get from the Welsh Government until December 21, they are already concerned that there is likely to be a significant shortfall in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration Lis Burnett said during the meeting: \u201cOur vision is of strong communities with a bright future and somehow we\u2019ve got to work our way through this and make sure that we can deliver that for them against a backdrop of what are horrendous pressures.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The continued effect of Covid-19 was blamed for the Council\u2019s financial problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coun Burnett gave the example of The Vale&#8217;s school transport, which is currently projecting an overspend of \u00a392,000, due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A council statement said: &#8220;A number of other factors are also expected to negatively affect the Council\u2019s financial position, including inflationary pressures such as increasing energy prices and changes to National Insurance payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Vale also has an ageing population and a growing number of children with complex and Additional Learning Needs, groups that importantly require greater service provision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

Ben Gray said that the increase in the minimum wage by 6% this year would significantly increase the cost of commissioning social care as a high proportion of carers are paid the minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not the only Council who is presenting this level of pressure,\u201d added Coun Gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coun Moore also outlined the lack of certainty provided by short term government grants during the meeting: \u201cA grant is no good because it lasts one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need a guarantee that we\u2019ll not only get it this year, but next year as

as we bid to maintain the vital services on which people rely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough the amount of funding received from Welsh Government last year was higher than anticipated, it did not address the legacy of the previous 10 years during which Local Authority funding was consistently cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat coupled with the financial burden of the Coronavirus has left the Council in an extremely challenging predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to be open and honest with residents over the reality of the situation and stress that their views will play a vital part in deciding the best way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Cabinet and scrutiny committees will discuss the budget proposals before they are finalised in March next year and a consultation with residents over Council Tax levels will take place in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vale of Glamorgan Council is warning residents that \u201cdifficult
