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