Thank you for that answer. I welcome the fact that eight local authorities have given an exemption to care leavers in their areas from paying council tax until they reach the age of 25, including one from my region, Anglesey. This gives care leavers the opportunity to better transition to independent living without the fear of a disproportionate response by councils if they are unable to make their council tax payments. Would the Welsh Government work with the remaining councils in north Wales and the rest of Wales to ensure that all care leavers have access to this exemption to avoid a postcode lottery?
