Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the long-term impact of councils depleting their reserves to cover essential services?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
The level of local authority reserves are matters for local elected members and will reflect longer terms plans as well as managing shorter term pressures. Audit Wales conduct an annual audit which includes a review of reserves.
