Central Beds Council draft budget proposals are now live, and they want to hear from residents before decisions are made.

The draft budget proposes a combination of measures to balance the council’s finances, including: 

• A 5% Council Tax increase
• Further cost reductions across the council
• A review of grants to voluntary and community groups
• Increases to some fees and charges
• Changes to some services, such as reduced opening hours and maintenance schedules

You can read the full summary and share your feedback online at:

Paper copies will be available in council libraries next week.

Consultation closes 3 February! Please take a moment to have your say and encourage others to do the same.
