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.

During the December Greenham Parish Council Meeting, Mr Rob Carpenter from Newbury Photography presented the Parish with a Commemorative Photo Book of the D Day 80 Event held on June 8th 2024. Early in the year, members of Newbury Photography Club established a project to photograph many of the D Day 80 Commemorative events, in and around Newbury. This was extended to cover a Parkway event on June 8th and the passage of the Commemorative Military Convoy (from Basingstoke to Hungerford) on June 29th.The objective was to photograph local community activities and then create a unique record of this historical occasion of Commemoration. Thousands of local residents and visitors attended and took part in these events, recognising the importance of remembering and honoring the past.Local fund raising and generous contributions from The Good Exchange have enabled copies of this Photo Book to be printed and these will be donated to local Organisations and individuals who had some involvement in the D Day 80 activities.If you would like to see the book there is a copy at the Greenham Control Tower. Why not pop in for a coffee and take a look.Picture of Greenham Parish Council Vice Chairman (left) Julian Swift-Hook being presented with the book on behalf of Greenham Parish from Rob Carpenter of Newbury Photography.
