Savings options

We’re looking for your views on £41.5million of savings options over the next 3 years. 

They concentrate on efficiencies, working differently and raising income rather than cutting services.  

We aim to protect the frontline services people rely on and make sure that the most vulnerable residents get the essential support they need.  

The proposed savings options over 3 years are made up of:

  • £7.993million from Children’s Services
  • £12million from Adult’s Services
  • £524,000 from Public Health
  • £9.812million from Corporate budgets
  • £8.804million from Neighbourhoods
  • £2.368million from Growth and Development. 

The annual revenue budget for the Council for the current year is £811million. Savings needed to fund pressures around pay, prices and demand are being considered and the funding total for 2025/26 will be confirmed before Christmas and reported in the new year.
