Welsh councils will be handed an extra £23.6m in 2019/20 on the condition that they commit to regional working.

The additional allocations in the final local government finance settlement means councils will benefit from an overall cash increase compared to 2018/19, equivalent to a rise of 0.2% after adjusting for transfers.
