We are asking residents, businesses, partners and community organisations for views on our budget for 2027/28 and our four-year financial plan to 2030/31. Like many councils, we are facing rising costs and growing demand for services. This page explains the current financial position, the main areas we are consulting on, and how you can have your say.

More detailed information is available in the Cabinet report Wednesday 16 September 2026.
