A councillor is concerned that members of the public may be given false hope over what appears to be an "extremely high" financial settlement increase received by a council.
Speaking at a Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) meeting, Independent Councillor for Maesteg East, Keith Edwards, expressed concern over peoples' potential expectations after a 9.2% increase in funding from the Welsh Government.
In a report by the chief officer for finance, performance and change, it was revealed that a large share of the increase in funding would go towards meeting certain spending obligations.
