Thank you to the more than 3,500 individuals and groups who responded to this year’s Council budget consultation.
A report detailing the findings of the survey has been published today (February 3), and can be downloaded via this link.
While the Council has projected a budget deficit of £25.5m for the year ahead, following consideration of the local government settlement and other adjustments the Council has a remaining £10m deficit for the year end to balance the budget. No decisions on options to fill this gap have been taken.
This report will be considered by elected members, who will set the Revenue Budget and Council Tax for 2025/26 at a meeting of the City Governance Committee at 2pm on February 27.
