Welcome to Risca Town Council’s Business and Financial PlanNo. 2 for 2017/18 to 2019/20

Risca (Welsh: Rhisga) is a town of approximately 11,500 people in south-east Wales, within the Caerphilly County Borough and the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire/Gwent. The Town Council was elected in late 2012, held its inaugural meeting in Feb 2013 and received its first precept allowance from Caerphilly county borough council in April 2013.

Since then the Council has been very successful in the overall management of its services and finances in providing for the wellbeing of its Town and community. Many local Projects for Risca have been in conjunction with our neighbours at Risca East community council and this partnership is expected to continue and grow over the next few years. These local Projects have been very well received by both communities. This Council intends to listen to the Community’s suggestions for future projects for its area.

Over the next three years the Council aims to further improve its provision of services and Projects to add to the future success of the town and its community where feasible, utilising and managing its annual precept. The Council is mindful of the national view to reform Local Government in the near future. It will consider taking on board those likely changes that are to the further benefit of its townsfolk and where possible any additional public services if its resources allow.
