NDM7923 Darren Millar (Clwyd West)

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Thanks councillors, local authorities and their staff across Wales for their role during the coronavirus pandemic.

2. Believes that Welsh local authorities must be adequately funded to enable them to deliver the high quality public services to which they aspire.

3. Regrets that the current local government funding formula is not fit for purpose.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to commission an external independent review of the funding of local government in Wales to ensure it delivers fair funding for all parts of the country.
