HCC Budget Consultation
Stockbridge Parish Council
HCC is consulting on the financial strategy for managing its budget over the next two years.
Local Authorities are required by law to deliver a balanced budget which means that they cannot spend more that what is available. Since 2008 the County Council has delivered annual financial savings totalling £640 million. However, growing demand for local services, particularly social care for vulnerable children and adults, rising costs and continued underfunding from the Government means that Hampshire County Council continues to face a total budget shortfall over the next two years. This shortfall is forecast to reach £132m by April 2025. HCC would like to hear your views on several proposed high-level options that could contribute towards balancing the County Council’s revenue budget. Please visit: https://www.hants.gov.uk/aboutthecouncil/haveyoursay/consultations/budgetconsultation to give your views.
The consultation period is the 1st June to the 23rd July 2023.
