Welsh councils are set to get an extra £112.8m funding from the Cardiff government in April following sector criticism of the provisional offer.

The Welsh Government's £27.5bn final budget also confirms all councils will receive an average increase in funding of 4.5% compared to the previous year, with no local authority receiving a rise of less than 4%.
