Our public consultation about the proposals for the council?s 2023/24 budget closes today. If you still haven?t given your feedback, you can still do so by completing the online survey here before midnight tonight.
Having initially set a balanced medium term financial plan, soaring inflation blew a hole in next year?s budget, leading to further difficult decisions having to be considered. By taking the survey you can see the proposals we have put forward and let us know your views. Your feedback is part of good decision making, so please take part if you can.
All views will be taken into consideration before proposals are put back before our Executive Board next month and ratified at March?s meeting of the full council.

We know that being a victim of rape or other sexual offences, and going through a police investigation, will be extremely difficult and it?s essential that people are well supported through that process. Operation Bluestone Soteria is inviting victim-survivors across the UK to take part in a survey about the experience of the police investigation.
The survey team is particularly keen to hear from people who are:
- Over 18 years old
- A victim of rape or sexual assault
- Whose case has been investigated by a police force in the UK.
The survey aims to give voice to victims, and all views and experiences, both positive and negative, will be valuable in helping police forces to improve.
The online survey is completely anonymous. If you?d like to participate, the survey is here along with support numbers: https://cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4GikU2bi38jO0MS?jfefe=new
