Well, it was just 1% increase in Powys' Revenue Support Grant. What utter contempt shown to the residents of Powys by the 'One Wales' Government. People in Mid Wales have long felt that they were simply forgotten by the Cardiff Bay Bubble, and surely this settlement confirms this impression.
But where is the public outrage? If this were to happen in France, rural communities would be marching through Paris and driving their stock down the Champs Elysee. Here we simply shrug our shoulders and wait for the next insult.
Come on residents of Powys, make your anger known, besiege the Senedd - do something to remind the Cardiff Bay sychophants that not only do we exist, we demand a fair settlement, we want a fighting chance to protect our schools, our libraries, our sports centres, our adult care services and our services to vulnerable people. Now is the time for action.
