Following the biggest public health emergency of our lifetimes, the Council is determined to build a stronger, greener and fairer future for the borough. However, hard decisions on our budget are vital to turning these aspirations into reality.

Council services have a massive impact on all our lives and our futures. Therefore, choices around what we prioritise must reflect local people’s views, to ensure our communities, businesses and residents are supported.

We would like to hear:

  • Your views on whether our proposals are the right choices
  • Any further ideas for saving money or raising income

To find out more, please watch our video below, or you can read all our proposals here or in a web accessible format here.
