Every year KCC set a budget to determine how much money will be spent on services. They are continuing to face the challenge of significant spending demands and cost increases largely in adults and children’s social care and home to school transport. They need to manage this within the funding available, which mainly comes from Council Tax and government grants. This requires tough choices about priorities for the future.
As they plan their spending for the year ahead, they need to hear your views on:
• Council Tax proposals,
• how comfortable you would be with reductions in spending across their different service areas, and
• your suggestions for how to make further savings and increase income.
Their budget consultation closes on 7 August 2024. See here
