Thanks to a better-than-expected settlement from Welsh Government we’ve seen a projected £60m budget gap reduce to £23.4m for 2025/26. Despite this improved outlook, inflation and rising demand for services mean the cost of delivering essential services continues to rise.

Key budget proposals 2025/26 (all figures in comparison to current 2024/25 budgets).
Increasing Investment in Education and Social Services to cover rising costs
SCHOOLS to receive an extra £19.8m (ensuring no overall savings targets for schools in 2025/26).
EDUCATION SERVICES to receive an extra £8.8m
CHILDREN’S SERVICES to receive an extra £7.5m
ADULT SERVICES to receive an extra £12.1m

Budget gap 2025/26 - £23.4m
PROPOSED EFFICIENCY SAVINGS:
Significant back-office reductions and the adoption of new technology to save costs.
Managed reduction in staff numbers through voluntary severance.
£11.5m total efficiency savings.

Key budget proposals 2025/26 - Cardiff Council budget
Delivering education and social care - supporting children, adults, and older people - accounts for over 70% of the Council's budget. In recent years, the cost of providing these essential services has risen significantly.
Council Tax only accounts for 26% of the Council's budget.
1% increase = £1.9m
While no figure has yet been set for council tax increases, any money raised in this way would help offset the £23.4 million budget gap alongside efficiency savings, service changes, increased fees, and the use of earmarked reserves.
