By local authority, how much of the final local government settlement represents allocation from the increase for culture and heritage identified in the Welsh Government budget?
The local government settlement is unhypothecated. It is for each authority to decide how it spends these resources in conjunction with its locally raised income and in line with its own priorities and pressures.
The key briefing tables published alongside the final local government settlement on 21 December provide a breakdown, by local authority, of the broad service areas used to calculate the settlement funding allocations. These service areas are constructed for calculation purposes only and are not spending targets or expectations of local authority spending.
