Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot and Blaenau Gwent have the highest average band D bill, all more than £2,400 per year.

The Blaenau Gwent MS Alun Davies warned that some of his constituents were "terrified".

"People want to work and people want to live decent lives and it's the role of government, surely, to help people do that," said Davies whose Blaenau Gwent constituency has the highest proportion of disabled people in Wales, according to census data.

Alun Davies, Member of the Senedd for Blaenau Gwent, said residents affected by disability and poverty were already struggling "in making ends meet".

There have been a number of incidents, such as in November 2024 during Storm Bert, when homes in Cwmtillery, Blaenau Gwent, were damaged and people evacuated.
