Diolch, Llywydd. I'm pleased to present the 2020-21 local government settlement for the 22 unitary authorities in Wales to the Assembly. Before I start today, I'm sure the Senedd will join me in thanking local government for the critical work they undertake. We've seen over these past three weeks the part that local government, alongside the emergency services and communities themselves, have played in the response to the unprecedented flooding across Wales as a result of storms Ciara, Dennis and now Jorge.
