Budget Proposals 2016/2017 - Have Your Say

Next year, local people and businesses are set to generally pay more while the Government pays less to fund council services. This is because of more Government cuts and changes to how public services are funded.

The Government plans to phase out the grant it provides to councils altogether by the end of the current Parliament - shifting funding arrangements from national taxation to local taxation through Council Tax.

The Government has cut the money Nottingham gets for its day-to-day services by more than half since 2013 - a loss of £70m.

Next year, the Council has to find a further £20.5m of savings. This is on top of the £152m the Council has saved over the past 5 years.
