Budget - West Sussex County Council
Shipley Parish Council
West Sussex County Council are seeking views via a consultation process, on their proposed 2024/25 budget. Please see below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Budget Consultation 2024 - 2025
However, we must make plans within the current financial pressures that we and many other local authorities continue to face.
Cost-of-living is being felt by everyone across the county. Our budget shortfall for 2024/25 is £44.9 million, and we are required by law to set a balanced budget. This means that we will have to make some difficult choices about what level of services we provide and how we deliver them.
As part of our planning we will be asking our partners and residents to comment on these plans as well as the priorities set out in Our Council Plan (opens in new window)(External link).
We want to hear what you think are the most vital services, where you’d spend or reduce money and what options you’d prefer us to make to achieve a balanced budget.
Have your say
To help guide our budget plans, we want to hear:
