Decide how the Council will spend tax money in their budget next year

Like other councils across the UK, Buckinghamshire is in the process of setting its budget for 2023/24, and  82% of the cost of providing all Buckinghamshire Council’s services comes from Council Tax.

They want you to tell them which services you think they should be prioritising in the budget for next year.

They're launching a “Money Matters” survey – the way for residents to tell them what matters most to them when the Council come to divvy up the available funds during next year. The budget will pay for services such as:

 

  • Pothole repairs, road maintenance and improvement
  • The Council’s energy costs - from street lighting and operating machinery at household waste depots
  • Care for vulnerable children, for example, those who’ve had to come into our care for their own safety and well-being
  • Care for adults who need extra help and support
  • Running libraries and leisure centres
  • Support for residents facing hardship

When the Money Matters survey closes, the Council will consider all feedback during the following phase of the budget setting process. Then the full budget proposal will be announced early 2023, for further feedback and scrutiny before it’s agreed and finalised in February and implemented from 1 April 2023.
