Thank you to everyone who gave their views on Our Council Plan and proposals for the 2024/25 budget.

The responses we received highlighted your preferences including:

• increased funding in highways and transport
• an emphasis on community support and a sustainable economy
• a focus on achieving a balanced budget.

The results of the consultation have been considered by our Performance & Finance Scrutiny Committee and shared with Cabinet ahead of its meeting next Tuesday, 30 January.

Cabinet will review the refreshed Council Plan, the 2024/25 revenue budget and capital programme. Their recommendations will then proceed to Full Council, which takes place on Friday 16 February.

At Full Council, the proposals and any amendments proposed by other political groups will be presented and debated, followed by a vote.

You can find agendas for each meeting, watch the meeting webcast live or watch again at a later date in the links above.
