A council leader has slammed the Welsh Government funding formula used to calculate how much money the local authorities receive annually, claiming his council has been short-changed by more than £210m in seven years.

Conwy Council leader Cllr Charlie McCoubrey says the amount of money given to Conwy in its local government settlement is not enough, arguing it compares drastically unfavourably to the sums received by Gwynedd and Denbighshire.

In December both Conwy and Gwynedd came bottom of the local government settlement table of 22 Welsh authorities with just a 2% budget rise.
