Setting a Balanced Budget in 2025-26

Status:
Closed consultation
Start date:
15 January 2025
Closing date:
29 January 2025

Details

Like other local authorities, the Council is facing significant funding pressures. There are considerable pressures in many of our service areas, notably in temporary accommodation, SEND provision and transport, and in both Children’s and Adult Social Care.  Despite significant budget pressures we are still delivering services that help and support our residents, and we are continuing to create a better borough for the well-being of all our communities.

We must set a balanced budget for the forthcoming financial year 2025-26, which is proving to be a challenge. On 8 January, the Council’s Cabinet approved a draft budget which demonstrated that the Council still has to do more to be able to set a balanced budget, the report included details of savings proposals already being considered to reduce the budget gap.

Further details were available in our Medium Term Financial Plan 2025-26 to 2029-30 (PDF).
