This consultation has now closed. Many thanks for taking part.
What happens next
We will consult on our draft budget proposals from 12 November 2021 until 2 January 2022. In February 2022, Cabinet will be asked to recommend the post-consultation budget to City Council. City Council will debate and vote on the budget at their meeting in March. We will publish the final budget proposals, including a report on the consultation findings, on our website: Newcastle City Council. Thank you for giving us your views.
What we asked you to do
We have set out draft service savings proposals worth £12 million to balance our budget next year, and would like to hear your comments on what we propose. We also have to save £12 million in 2023-24, followed by another £12 million in 2024-25, which is a total of £36 million over the next three years.
Our priority here is to find out what you think about our detailed savings proposals in 2022-23. We are required by law both to set a balanced budget, and to consult people about what we propose to do. We want to know what you think of our proposals and encourage you to have your say.
We are consulting on our proposals between 12 November 2021 and 2 January 2022. Have your say by completing the short survey, or by emailing us at: letstalk@newcastle.gov.uk. We have also produced a PDF copy of our questions, which can be printed off, completed, and returned to us at: FREEPOST Let’s Talk if this is easier for you or someone you know.
Here are all our budget documents which set out our proposals:
