Homes in the areas of Cardiff’s six community councils (Lisvane, Old St Mellons, Pentyrch, Radyr and Morganstown, St Fagans and Tongwynlais) also pay their community council, on top of the bill above. Together they raise £673,734 this year.

Split in proportion to everything the council spends, £1,238m, including what specific government grants pay for: the budget return does not say which services those grants go to. Council tax pays about 17p of every £1 of it; government grants and business rates pay the rest.

Labour 50, Liberal Democrats 10, Conservative 9, Independent 5, Plaid Cymru, Green Party, Common Ground 2, Propel 1, Green 1 and Reform UK 1 of the 79 councillors on the council’s list.

Still to come for Cardiff

For Hammersmith & Fulham, Borough Book also tracks every party’s manifesto pledges, every council payment over £500, Cabinet and Full Council decisions, how this year’s budget gap was closed and a tool to balance next year. Those need the council’s own papers, read by hand, and come here next. See Hammersmith & Fulham.
