Monmouthshire, in numbers

Public spending

Monmouthshire council area. Every figure carries its own date.

What this council spent, how it changed and how it compares with councils with similar responsibilities and population sizes.

Monmouthshire County Council only. This covers the council’s own services. It is not all public spending in the area.

£258.02 million in 2024–25

Council revenue expenditure. These are recorded amounts spent, rather than plans for future spending.

For each resident£2,713

Cash spending · 2024–25

For each resident, allowing for inflation£2,713

2024–25 prices · 2024–25

“Per resident” spreads the total across everyone who lives here. It is not a payment to each person.

Has spending kept up with prices and population?

Allowing for inflation makes spending in different years easier to compare. Looking per resident also allows for a changing population.

Reported actual revenue expenditure, excluding sales, fees and charges but including specific and special government grants. Includes the source’s revenue adjustments and financing conventions. Kept separate from English and Scottish council totals.

Outside this measure: Separate capital-account expenditure; Separate housing revenue account; Central-government and NHS spending; Separate police, fire and national park authority returns.

Each financial year runs from April to March. Per-resident amounts use the population estimate for the year in which that financial year starts, matched to the council’s area code. Missing populations remain gaps. Inflation is adjusted using a broad measure of prices across the economy; it does not measure each service’s particular costs.

Changes in council boundaries, responsibilities, schools or accounting can affect the figures. A rise or fall alone does not show a change in service quality.

How does it compare with similar councils?

The comparison uses councils in Wales with the same broad responsibilities, choosing up to three closest in population size. They may face different needs and costs.

How the comparison works

Same country and broad council responsibilities, closest population size. Not adjusted for need, deprivation, income, commuter demand or service outcomes.

Fixed cohort of current councils of this type; complete observations only. This is not all council spending in the country.

The wider comparison covers 22 current councils of the same type. Spending and populations are added before dividing; individual council rates are not averaged.

The selected councils use the latest year with matching spending and population for this council. Every comparison row uses that same year. This is not a ranking of value for money or a measure of whether funding is fair.

Where does the council money go?

Monmouthshire County Council only · £ per resident · 2024–25 prices, allowing for inflation

Reviewed figures: 2001/2002 to 2024/2025. This reviewed record covers fewer than 30 years, so the chart opens on all of it.

Shown on this chart: £103.79 per person in 2001/2002; £234.51 per person in 2024/2025. 125.9% higher between these observations.

The line joins consecutive published observations.

Data table and workings

Reported actual revenue expenditure, excluding sales, fees and charges but including specific and special government grants. Includes the source’s revenue adjustments and financing conventions. Kept separate from English and Scottish council totals.

Different accounting definition from England and Scotland; compare Welsh councils on the same basis.

Council tax benefit changed in 2013–14; service classifications and financing changes affect long-run comparisons.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

Reviewed figures: 2001/2002 to 2024/2025. This reviewed record covers fewer than 30 years, so the chart opens on all of it.

Shown on this chart: £4 per person in 2001/2002; £0 per person in 2024/2025. 100% lower between these observations.

2 missing periods in the selected range; the line stops at each gap.

Data table and workings

Reported actual revenue expenditure, excluding sales, fees and charges but including specific and special government grants. Includes the source’s revenue adjustments and financing conventions. Kept separate from English and Scottish council totals.

Different accounting definition from England and Scotland; compare Welsh councils on the same basis.

Council tax benefit changed in 2013–14; service classifications and financing changes affect long-run comparisons.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

A zero may mean this council does not provide that service. A negative net amount can occur when service income exceeds spending. A missing figure means no usable value was reported.

What can be done with these figures?

Check which services account for a change, compare it with local needs, and ask what residents received for the money. Look for outcomes such as care access, school places or the condition of roads, alongside the amount spent.

Coverage and limits

Welsh revenue expenditure retains specific grants and its own financing adjustments. It is not interchangeable with English net-current service spending or Scottish net revenue funding-basis figures.
