Budget Plan 2025-26 consultation
This consultation has now closed.
The council is setting out proposals that will form part of its budget in 2025-26.
We're asking businesses to share their views on these proposals and have your say by completing our consultation by midday on Wednesday, 12 February.
Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, along with all local authorities across England, have seen significantly reduced funding from central government over the last 10 years, and the need to generate savings and increase income has been ongoing.
One in four councils are very likely to apply for exceptional financial support due to rising service costs, and in a recent Local Government Association survey, the five areas of concern in budget setting for 2025-26 are:
- homelessness
- waste collection and disposal
- planning and development
- capital expenditure
- culture and leisure
The Council struggles with the same areas, and although we are not currently expecting to request financial support, longer term savings need to be identified for the medium-term financial plan to ensure this position is maintained.
