There is one more week to go to have your say on the council?s budget for 2024/25, with an online consultation session taking place this evening between 6pm and 7pm.
The council faces a shortfall in 2024/25 financial year and this is due to issues impacting many local authorities across the country, including:
- the cost of increased demand for adult care and children?s services
- more people presenting as homeless
- inflation and unfunded national pay increases
To bridge the large budget gap, there are unfortunately difficult decisions which have to be considered and it?s therefore really important that we hear the public?s views before any final decisions are taken.
Have your say in our online survey by 16 January and join us at an online consultation tonight via Microsoft Teams.

The return of freezing weather over the past few days means that our gritting fleet have returned to the roads.
Look out for the bright yellow lorries if you see them out and about ? they cover 227 miles every wintery night, making sure that key routes ? including those to hospitals and schools ? are kept safe.

More than 1,000 homes that are difficult and expensive to keep warm have received energy-efficiency upgrades in the latest part of a retrofitting scheme.
We?re continuing to support financially-vulnerable residents this winter through the Greener HousiNG programme using grant funding from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the European Regional Development Fund and with the support of the Midlands Net Zero Hub. Around 13,000 energy-efficiency improvements have been made since the council launched the programme in 2012. I was delighted to see this for myself recently during a visit with fellow councillors and officers.
