Have your say on our 2024/25 Budget Proposals

As part of the annual budget setting process, we would like to engage with businesses on our Budget Proposals for the next financial year. The Executive have recommended the 2024/25 Budget Proposals to the Full Council meeting.

We would like to capture the views of businesses electronically (as we did last year) and we have designed a short questionnaire for this purpose. We would be grateful if you could spare a few minutes to share your thoughts.

The survey will close on Tuesday 13 February and the results will be shared with all councillors.
