Rhondda Cynon Taf: Looks like prices are going up for a bunch of things next year. School meals, local attractions, and even parking fees are all set to rise. The council is thinking about a standard 5% increase to help cover costs.
For school meals, the price will go up by 10p, which isn’t too bad considering the rising food costs. But hey, they’re trying to absorb some of that inflation for families. Parking charges are also getting a bump, especially in Aberdare and Pontypridd. You might want to keep some extra change handy when you park!
And if you’re into local attractions, expect to pay a bit more too. The Lido in Pontypridd is raising its entry fee, and other places like the Rhondda Heritage Park will see price hikes as well. It’s all part of the council’s plan to keep things running smoothly while managing costs.
They’re also looking at fees for services like bereavement and bulky waste collections. It’s a lot to take in, but the council says they’re trying to keep things affordable while still providing good services. So, if you’re in the area, just be prepared for a few extra pounds here and there!
