Budget for council services 2026/27

One of the key ways we can shape the budget for 2026/27 is by listening carefully to the people who use and pay for our services — our residents and local businesses.

This consultation is an opportunity for you to share your views and help inform the decisions the Council will make about its budget for the coming year. It will be open from 3 November to 28 November 2025.

Your feedback will play an important role in shaping the Council's budget for 2026/27. The results of this consultation will be considered by Cabinet ahead of their meeting in February 2026, when they will make budget recommendations to Council.

To have your say, please complete the survey below by midnight on 28 November 2025.
