West Berkshire Council launches a public consultation to give residents the opportunity to have their say on how to balance its 2025/26 budget.
The proposals to generate income or save money come as West Berkshire Council prepares its budget for 2025/26. In identifying areas to make savings the priority is to protect the most vulnerable residents, minimise the impact on frontline services and work to transform services to ensure they continue to be delivered effectively efficiently and focused on our customers.
Local authority funding continues to be extremely challenging and West Berkshire Council is not alone in making difficult decisions to deliver a balanced budget. When starting the budget-setting process the Council was forecasting a deficit of £12.1m when considering its anticipated income against the cost of delivering services. Around £3.7m savings have been found that don't require consultation, and proposals which could deliver a financial benefit up to £1.2m which do. They are set out in full on the consultation page West Berkshire Council today (Monday 11 November) launches a public consultation to give residents the opportunity to have their say on how to balance its 2025/26 budget.
