Budget consultation 2025/26 results

Thank you to everyone who took the time to have their say on this year’s Budget Consultation – we had over 1,500 residents participate this year, which is our highest number yet. 
The images below show the outcome of the Consultation. In relation to the Council Tax question, 36% of people voted to cut services to keep Council Tax to a minimum, with the remaining 64% choosing to maintain services, even if it means an increase in Council Tax.
When it came to services, Education was identified as the top priority, receiving 98.7% of the votes. Physical Regeneration received the least votes, at 37.4%.
We will take this into consideration when planning next year’s budget.
