Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
Support for public swimming pools is provided to local authorities through the unhypothecated Local Government settlement. Despite the challenging financial situation, local authorities will receive £5.5 billion from the Welsh Government in core revenue funding and non-domestic rates to spend on delivering key services in 2023-24. This equates to an increase of 7.9%, or £403 million on a like-for-like basis, compared to 2022-23, and no authority will receive less than an 6.5% increase. In addition £20 million capital has been specifically provided for local authorities to decarbonise their estate, which may include leisure centres.
