flag Welsh councils warn of 20% tax hikes or 13,000 job losses if 2026/27 budget isn’t approved.

flag Welsh councils warn that without changes to the government’s draft 2026/27 budget, they may face 20%+ tax hikes or over 13,000 job losses. flag The £27bn plan, adjusted for inflation and including £800m more than last year, requires cross-party support to pass due to Labour’s minority in the Senedd. flag Failure to approve it by April could trigger a 25% funding cut. flag School leaders also caution that current funding levels threaten education services, with ongoing shortfalls affecting staff, resources, and student outcomes despite expected increases via the Barnett Formula.
