As a Council, our vision is to protect, care and invest to create a better Borough. In order to do that, it is important that we need to ensure that we have sufficient budget to provide services to our residents.
Years of austerity and increasing demand for services alongside inflationary increases such as rising energy costs and contractual inflation means that making ends meet has never been more difficult for us.
We’ve always taken a proactive approach to budget management which is why we are taking some additional measures now to reduce possible overspends in this financial year whilst also setting us on the right path financially for future years to come.
Lots of work has already been done across the council to identify ways to save money, including ideas on how we can work differently along with a review of our investment programme.
