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 (December 20) as the city council sets its budget for 2023/24.
At an Executive Board meeting, councillors endorsed £29m of savings proposals, over £10m of which require public consultation. The city council said its finances are also amongst the ones impacted by the cost-of-living crisis created by soaring inflation, fuel and energy costs.
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.
