Budget Consultation
This consultation ends 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 want to hear your views on our proposals.
