Northumberland County Council 2024/25 Budget Consultation

Overview

Introduction

Each year the Council must set a balanced budget, which sets out funding for its services as well as its plans for investing. The budget must also take account of new cost-pressures as well as making sure all its services are as efficient as possible.  The Council’s budget setting process is happening now.   

Have your say on the Council’s budget proposals  

It is important that we consider your views on the budget because the Council exists to serve you and your communities.  From Tuesday December 12th, 2023 until the 26th January 2024 you can give your views in an online questionnaire. 

More information can be found in the budget consultation document.  

As part of the consultation the Council is also planning an online event in the New Year where residents can ask the Leader of the Council questions on services and the budget.  Look out for details of this on the Council’s Web Home Page.   

This consultation runs for six weeks until 26th January 2024, with the Budget due to go before Full Council in February 2024.
