Pembrokeshire County Council is entering a crucial phase in its budget setting process and members of the public are urged to get involved.

A budget consultation has been launched to help the Council understand what services are important to the public as the Local Authority faces difficult choices for 2025-26 and beyond.

The funding gap for 2025-26 is estimated to be £34.1million, with potential for it to increase further.

There are limited ways that the funding gap can be met:

• Increase the rate of Council Tax charged (each 1% increase generates approximately £820,000 of additional income).
• Change the way services are provided – (efficiency gains, reduce what Council does etc).
• Increase the amount charged for some services
