Share your views on RBWM's draft budget 2024/25

Residents, community groups and businesses are invited to take part in a public consultation on RBWM’s draft budget proposals.

The consultation runs from now until Monday, January 22.

The draft budget was discussed at cabinet on Wednesday – read more about its decisions here.

The final funding position from Government ‘will not be known until later this month,’ says the Borough. Work will continue ahead of the final budget being presented to full council in February.

Public feedback will help inform discussions when the draft budget is debated then.

Councillor Lynne Jones, cabinet member for finance and deputy leader of the council, said:

“It has been a challenge to produce a draft budget for public consultation and we encourage residents, businesses and community organisations to have your say through the consultation.

“We are presenting a balanced budget, which is an important step forwards.

“But the situation remains serious and will require hard work and continued focus, to get the council onto a secure financial footing for the future.

“Without stable finances, we are unable to invest in making the improvements and change that we want to see in the borough.

“We remain committed to providing high quality services and support for our residents and to championing the needs and priorities of our communities.”
