Seeing that Barry is one of the most populated towns in Wales, I think we should be in line with at least Bridgend.

I believe that there should be a fairer share out of this money, just because the Vale seems to be a rich area that are many parts of the Vale that need more help and rightly so should be treated the same as Cardiff.

We always lose out as the people that know about these things do not care.

The Vale of Glamorgan is struggling to maintain services and infrastructure, It is time the Welsh Government reviewed their funding and made a more equitable settlement. Our Council tax is already higher than Cardiff and the gap increases every year.

I think each area should get equal amounts, everyone is in the same financial problems

We pay a lot. Let's get a fair share of funding back.

The VOG needs to get its fair share of funding to finance essential infrastructures: housing developments, regeneration projects and partnerships with employers; please lobby your MP and engage with your local councillors to keep the debate fresh in peoples' minds.

Funding for the Vale is completely out of line with all other local regions! The Welsh Government is all too happy to insist that the Vale has to build thousands of new homes but won't provide the necessary infrastructure to support such development. In fact, at this time all that appears to be happening are further cutbacks and reductions in existing services and projects for the Vale.

The Vale of Glamorgan suffers from the perception that it is a 'wealthy' area and therefore government spend is not of the essence for sustainability. This is far from the truth as the Vale, as much as its neighbours, requires investment to create and maintain regeneration via investment in its infrastructures, educational needs, social and community requirements, transport etc. The population of the Vale is economically diverse and its needs are therefore equally complex. Government should not be misled by inaccurate imagery, our communities need to be supported as much as any other..

It appears nothing is FAIR with this Labour Government . They are looking after their own.

The needs of people in the Vale are just as important as other areas and we have many people desperately struggling to make ends meet. Funding should be fair and equitable across all areas.

As a resident, my needs, and those of our neighbours, are just as paramount as any in other areas of Wales.

Totally unfair system and funding needs to be shared out more fairly. Indeed Bridgend Council seem to have money to waste.

I suppose the fact that Carwyn Jones represents Bridgend has nothing to do with it

Rhondda Cynon Taff naturally receive the most money they are 100 per cent labour,just as natural is the Vale of Glamorgan receiving the least because we keep voting Tory which angers the Welsh labour government so they punish us.
