The financial climate has left Dacorum Borough Council (DBC) needing to recover £4.4million over the next four years.
DBC’s consultation launched on December 11, 2023, and will run until January 8, 2024, looking for residents’ opinion on how they should allocate their “limited resources”.
In 2013/14, the council received core government grants of £9.2million. In 2024/25, this is predicted to be just £4million.
Councillor Ron Tindall, Leader of DBC and portfolio holder for corporate and commercial services, said: “We are facing difficult financial decisions, and we need your help to make the right choices for our residents. We want to ensure that we can continue to provide essential services, but we also need to be mindful of the financial pressures that we are facing.”
One key point outlined in the draft General Fund Budget is a council tax increase of 2.99 per cent (£6.66).
