Powys County Council (the council) provides a wide range of services to our communities, spending over £545m every year, mainly on statutory services, which we must provide by law. A small proportion of the budget is also spent on services that we choose to provide.
Our services are highly valued by our residents and like you the Council is being significantly impacted by the current economic climate, surging inflation and rocketing energy costs have had a significant impact on the Council’s financial planning for this and future financial years
The increases mean that for next year (2023-24) we will need to find more money - to maintain what we currently provide or reduce our service delivery. The Welsh Government will provide some additional funding and we will have to consider raising Council Tax to raise additional funds, – a five per cent council tax increase is being considered , but these alone will not bridge the gap in our budget.
To balance the budget next year, we will have to take out more than £20m of costs and we would like your input into how best we can do this. It will have an impact on the service we offer but by doing things differently we can reduce our costs.
We need you to help us shape what the council could look like, it will be a smaller council, but it is essential that we prioritise the services to those that need our support most. Doing things differently can help us use the money we have effectively.
The national economy is struggling too, and we do not expect our funding over the next few years to meet the costs we have so change will take place over a number of years to come.
Help us decide what the council will look like. Please complete the short survey below which suggests the changes we are having to consider.
The closing date is 5th January.
