It includes raising council tax
A public consultation over Nottingham City Council 's savings proposals has been launched. Residents have been invited to have their say on the proposals agreed by councillors on Monday as the city council sets its budget for 2023/24.
A challenging employment market, increased demand for services and post-pandemic issues also add to financial pressures, they said. Proposals agreed by the Executive Board include raising Council Tax by the full 4.99 per cent permitted under Government proposals - made up of 2.99 per cent Council Tax and a further 2 per cent precept specifically towards Adult Social Care costs.
The City Council’s Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Finance, Cllr Adele Williams, said: “Most councils up and down the country are facing significant financial difficulties, and once again we are faced with some really difficult decisions about how we balance our budget next year. We have also looked in this budget process for ways in which we can become more efficient and effective with each pound we spend for Nottingham.
