Budget Consultation
This consultation closed at 5pm on Wednesday 8 January.
Every year, the council must set a balanced budget to make sure the money we spend delivering services is in line with the money we have available.
We will set our budget for 2025/26 in February 2025, and we wanted to hear your views on our proposals.
The draft budget for the financial year 2025/26 was presented to our policy and resources committee on 27 November and members agreed to consult on the proposals.
