Cardiff could receive an increase of 0.4% in council funding for 2019\/20, whilst many areas in Wales will see a decline of up to 1%, according to provisional figures set out by the Welsh Government. Bridgend and Caerphilly may be among those affected by a small drop in the new budget.<\/p>\n

Who should see an increase in funding: the capital city or other areas in Wales?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Izzy, 25, musician, Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0“<\/strong>Well, there’s obviously more going on in Cardiff and there’s more people in Cardiff, so it would need more funding but hopefully not to the detriment of the others.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deborah Layee, 63, retired, Birmingham<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s hard to say. I’ve seen a lot of things like old people’s homes go down the drain in Cardiff. There used to be far more of them; there’s now very few that are run by the council. Cardiff needs such a lot doing to it.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stephen Harris, 34, press officer, Rhondda Cynon Taf<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCardiff is relatively a stronger economy so I think it’ll probably be able to cope with changes to its funding more than, say, Rhondda Cynon Taf.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Colin Smith, 58, bookseller, Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell I think it should all be allocated on a proportional basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terry Howe, 63, retired social worker, Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes these figures can be a bit misleading when you look into them, can\u2019t they? I think they should all get more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Debra Harvey, 55, PCSO, Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s a tough one. We’ve got a lot of tourists coming into the city centre so they do bring a lot of money in. But, I know there’s areas in Caerphilly that probably would be desperate for more funds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
