We have set out service savings proposals worth £12 million to balance our budget next year, and would like to hear your comments on them. 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 proposal for Council Tax and the Adult Social Care Precept for 2022-2023. Find out more in our video: IIA4 Council Tax and Adult Social Care Precept video

We are consulting on all 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 is the Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) for this proposal, a summary of what we propose to do, and the impact we expect it will have: IIA4 Council Tax and Adult Social Care Precept

Please do give us your views!

If you have any questions about this or you need the consultation materials in different formats, such as large print, you can email us at letstalk@newcastle.gov.uk, or write to us at: FREEPOST Let’s Talk

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.
