General fund budget consultation for business rates payers

Overview

Notification of Intention to Consult Business Rate Payers

We have developed our budget proposals for the next financial year (2026/2027).

We are asking businesses to view the proposals and share their views with us. We want to understand if you agree with how we intend to use our resources. 

Why your views matter

We want to deliver services that work for our communities. By taking part in the consultation your feedback will be presented to Cabinet and considered alongside the budget proposals at their meeting on 4 February. 

What happens next

All responses will be collated and sent to Cabinet. These will be considered alongside the Budget proposals at their meeting on 4 February 2025.
