County Council Budget input - have your say - consultation

The County Council are asking for you to review their budget plans:

Message from the Leader:

Last week, I shared our initial budget proposals. Today, I want to underline the scale of the challenge and encourage you to give your feedback.

Relentless demand for services and uncertainty around Government funding mean we must act decisively. Our draft plan earmarks £131m extra for social care and sets out early measures to reduce costs and close a forecast £100m budget gap by 2030.

Next year's proposals include the potential income from a 2.99% Council Tax rise, but the final decision will be made in February once we have clarity on funding and growth pressures.

This consultation is your opportunity to shape vital services. Please share your views and encourage residents to do the same by completing our short online survey:

The consultation runs until 18 January 2026. Your leadership in promoting this locally will make a real difference.

Thank you for your support—I'll keep you updated as we move forward.

Kind regards,

Dan Harrison

Leader of Leicestershire County Council
