I need to declare an interest as I am a still Flintshire councillor as well. Over the last 10 years of austerity, because of Welsh Government's budgets being cut, public services, including councils, have been cut to the bone. They have reorganised and restructured until they are at tipping point. Council tax used to equate to 24 per cent of the budget; the rest comes from Government. Now, it equates to 30 per cent of the budget, and cannot keep increasing. Residents cannot afford it, and non-collection rates will keep growing. Councils are also one of the biggest employers, which also then feeds the economy. Pay awards, increasing budget pressures, mainly on social care and education, and delivery of new legislation need to be covered, as councils are now at tipping point. Cuts to council services mean cuts to drainage teams, maintenance of highways, funding for education, social care, waste collections, fixing of potholes and street cleansing—all of these things that matter to people. Whatever the size and demographic of a council, there remain fixed, unalterable costs in many areas. A funding floor needs to be in place so the lowest funded still have enough to be able to deliver the basic services. Could I ask the Minister what work has been done to investigate the introduction of a local government funding floor to protect services and those that rely on them, and if that can be considered for the future as well? Thank you.
