A plan to increase council tax bills by 8.5% in Newport has been branded a “bitter pill to swallow” for city residents.

Matthew Evans, the Conservative opposition leader in the council chamber, said the extra costs would mean a “not-so-happy new year for our residents”.

On Thursday (January 4), Newport City Council unveiled its draft budget proposals for next year, and said it would have to find nearly £5 million in savings to balance the books.
