Despite the rise, local government leaders say Welsh taxpayers will still pay around £200 less than those in England during the next financial year. Cuts to public spending and the state of the economy made it inevitable that bills would go up, said the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA). Two of Wales’ 22 councils - Cardiff and Monmouthshire are freezing council tax in 2013/14. The biggest rise will be 5% in Anglesey. The 2.9% average comes from a survey by the WLGA.

Jenny had a passion caring for elderly infirm people but was unable to encompass all who were in need of help. So we started Rojene Live-in Care. Rojene Live-in Care was set up to provide a carer to live with any adult who was considering having to leave their family home, as they were unable to look after themselves, and go into a care home, residential home etc. Sometimes families feel they cannot cope with the care and attention that is needed for an elderly and/or infirm parent.
