Current consultations
Budget Consultation 2025-26
This consultation is designed to ensure that you can have a say in the budget-setting process. It builds upon the results of last year’s process, during which you told us that we should look at introducing charges or increasing them if they were already in place, reduce staffing costs, and review what levels of service are deliverable.
To maximise efficiency savings, you also told us to review our use of buildings and assets, and to consider the service arrangements that we have in place with partner organisations.
We have taken action and have made significant progress on all of the above, and will continue to do so as we look towards 2025-26.
The results of this consultation will be carefully analysed and taken into consideration, and we will seek to reflect the views of as many people as possible in the final budget proposals – thank you for taking part.
Closing date: 26 January 2025
