Budget for council services 2026/27

One of the key ways we can shape the budget for 2026/27 is by listening carefully to the people who use and pay for our services — our residents and local businesses.

Our budget consultation ran from 3 November to 28 November 2025. The results of this consultation will be considered by Cabinet ahead of their meeting in February 2026, when they will make budget recommendations to Council.
