The process for setting the Council’s Budget for the 2023-24 financial year commenced during the Autumn. The Budget has thus far been subject to review by the Council’s service committees. The Finance Policy and Governance Committee met on 13 December 2022 to consider the first view of the consolidated total budget and agreed to forward the overall budget for 2023-24 to the Town Council and to launch a public consultation.
On the 10 January 2023, the Town Council, having considered the outcome of the public consultation on the Budget, will agree the Budget and set the level of Precept for 2023-24. Public participation at the Town Council meeting is encouraged.
In the interests of transparency, the draft Budget as forwarded by the Finance, Policy and Governance Committee to the Council is made available on the Council’s website and is available for inspection at the Council offices, upon request by appointment. Appointments can be arranged by telephone to the Council offices on 01270 876440 or by email to admin@alsagertowncouncil.gov.uk
Members of the public are encouraged to review the document and to attend the Council meeting to speak in public participation on matters of interest within the Budget.
The public consultation on the Budget will be launched on Monday, 19 December 2022.
