… “Part of the problem has been created by the Senedd ..” … or more accurately, it’s created by the chronic underfunding of local government by central UK Government which then trickles over to Wales having less finds to allocate to Welsh councils.
It’s too easy to fall for the usual tripe about Welsh funding when 86% of the funds comes from the UK government who (under this political environment) have no interests in Wales being adequately funded. Look what they did with HS2 with Crewe being the excuse to deny matched funds to Wales. A loss of billions of funding to our rail network.
40 Tory MP’s are rumoured to be asking for more LGA funds so it’s not the Welsh Government, it’s endemic from the top for the whole of the UK. Moaning about the costs of the 20mph limit should be put into context to the BILLIONS of OUR money wasted centrally.
I don’t buy into the “it’s the Welsh Government” which gets hurled around at the drop of a hat. The money has to come from somewhere and until the taxes and monies raised from the resources in Wales, staying in Wales, the buck stops where the funding comes from.
