Budgets are about choices – and we want your help to make the right ones

Like many councils, we’re facing rising costs and growing demand. We can’t keep doing everything the same way. We’re inviting you to take part in this year’s budget consultation – ‘Fit for the Future’. This is your chance to shape how the Council spends around £1 billion each year on vital services.

Take our budget simulator challenge to show us how you would set the budget. You can also share your thoughts on the Council’s proposed approach to prioritising funding through a short survey. To get involved and have your say please click here:

The closing date for responses is Sunday 30 November 2025.
