Pembrokeshire County Council has proposed the highest ever percentage increase in council tax in Wales.

The local authority, which has the lowest Band D council tax in Wales, has proposed increasing council tax by between 16% and 21%.

The council is projecting a funding gap of more than £31m for 2024-25, and estimates it needs to generate between £12m-£15m from a council tax increase to balance its budget.

The local authority said the proposals were being made ‘against a backdrop of the most challenging financial situation to face Pembrokeshire County Council since its inception.’
