What do you think of our budget proposals?

Litte support for on-street parking charges, cuts to Countryside Access too harsh, Recycling Credits payments are important to local charities.

Results updated 1 Feb 2017

The council's Cabinet has now considered the feedback from the consultation and agreed a draft budget to recommend to Full Council. Thank you to everyone who responded.

As a result of the consultation Cabinet chose to:

  • Drop proposals for on-street parking charges
  • Significantly reduce the cuts to Countryside Access
  • Drop the proposal to stop paying Recycling Credits

Cabinet also took on board the message about the importance of preventative services and is trying hard to protect these where possible.

Full Council will vote on the draft budget on 17 February.
