Have your say before our budget consultation closes on Friday 16 January 2026

There's still time to share your views on our Budget Consultation for 2026/27. With the deadline fast approaching, we want to hear from as many residents as possible.

Complete the consultation now.

At the Council meeting on 10 December 2025, councillors agreed to lower the provisional council tax increases for planning purposes to 7.5% for 2026/27 and 3.75% for 2027/28.

Please note that as the budget survey was live, the figures in the council tax question remain unchanged to avoid disconnecting previous responses from future ones. The survey options still allow for a lower increase and for identifying savings priorities, so the questions remain valid.

We're asking for your views on what matters most to you and your community. Where do you believe the council should invest for the future? Which services do you want to see protected, and where would you be willing to accept reductions or savings?

The responses you provide will help councillors make a final decision on council tax levels and agree a balanced budget at the full Council meeting in March 2026.

Thank you to those who have already completed the consultation.
