Scottish Borders Council has launched its Budget Consultation and is seeking feedback from residents in the Borders to help shape the budget, due to be set in February 2025.
The consultation explains how decisions are made, how money is spent, and how residents in the Borders can contribute to the decision-making process.
Participants taking part in the consultation will be asked to respond on a variety of the Council’s budget and community priorities including Transport and Infrastructure and Community Engagement.
Why does your view matter?
As budget decisions get harder, it is more important than ever for Scottish Borders Council to know what residents think about the tough choices the Council needs to make. The consultation provides a short summary of the proposals about how the Council can balance the budget. Your views will help to shape the final budget proposals that are presented to the Council’s elected members and will help them to make a final decision about Scottish Borders Council’s budget in February 2025.
