Annual Plan 2025/2026 (annual budget)
Consultation for the annual plan is now closed. You can no longer leave feedback.
Elected members will now consider the feedback as they finalise the proposed annual plan. The Governing Body will approve the proposed plan at a Budget Committee meeting in May.
The final plan is due to take effect on 1 July 2025. It sets out what we plan to achieve next financial year, the services we will provide, how much money will be spent and where that money will come from.
