People and businesses are being encouraged to take part in Nottinghamshire County Council’s Annual Budget Survey, which has been launched.

The formal consultation process has opened in preparation for the next financial year and gives people an opportunity to have their say on how the County Council’s budget is spent.

It is part of the council’s ongoing conversation with residents to find out what its priorities should be to provide a ‘healthier, more prosperous and greener’ Nottinghamshire – and strengthen its resolve to invest in Nottinghamshire to support people and build resilience in communities.

The consultation is open until Sunday 10 November and Councillor Richard Jackson, Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources, says people who complete the survey will help the council shape how it maintains and delivers frontline services.
