Thank you. One of the reasons that I've been told that Conwy are facing such a steep increase is because previous leaders of the council were reticent to actually raise it as it should have been. They dipped into reserves, they left the council without the resilience that other local authorities have, and they have no option but to do it now because they've got years of catching up to do.
