Barry Town Council is planning a 5% rise in its council tax precept as it prepares to set its annual budget.
A final decision on the 2025-26 budget will made on February 10th, but the council has launched a public consultation allowing local residents and businesses to share their views on the proposals.
The town council has spent over £1,609,144 on services during the current financial year - with next year's expenditure being slightly lower at £1,592,714.

A council spokesperson said: "The income from fees and charges will be £174,773. This means that Barry Town Council requires £1,361,865 to fully deliver its services, after using £55,536 from reserves."
"Therefore, the draft budget proposes an increase of 5%. What this means to a “Band D” Council Tax payer is a total cost of £64.26 per year or £1.24 per week."

The consultation survey, which is also online, closes on Friday 24th January.
