An average uplift of 2.7% for Council budgets will still require Council Tax hikes near 20% or thousands of job cuts to meet the shortfall.
This would be disastrous for Wales.

Free these penguins!
A group of 75 MPs are calling for the release of 15 penguins “trapped” in a small enclosure “without sunlight or fresh air” at the Sea Life London Aquarium.
Housing the 15 gentoo penguins at the attraction on the South Bank was “un-British”, said the leader of the campaign.

15 penguins are trapped underground at Sea Life London — no sunlight, no real space, no freedom.
We joined protesters demanding their release. No matter how slick the tanks look, cruelty isn’t conservation — it’s exploitation.
And we will keep fighting!
