Last year through our Putting People First strategy, we asked for your views on our proposals to save £189 million over three years from 2014/17.
As a result of that consultation, we have already agreed £40m of savings for 2015/16. But our latest forecast means we have to find a further £12.9m in savings for 2015/16.
This time we’re asking for your views on our proposals to close this budget gap. We think we can make most of the £12.9m savings by being more efficient, but some of our proposals involve changes to services.
Our proposals are not based on asking you to pay more council tax in 2015/16. We would, however, like to know if you think we should increase council tax in 2015/16 to help protect specific services from future cuts.
Since 2011, the Government has cut its funding for local government by 24%. Over this time we have worked hard to make your council tax go further. Recognising tough times all round, we have not increased our share of the tax you pay for Norfolk County Council's services for four years now.
But the funding outlook for your council services still remains grim. We are planning now to cut our spending still further in 2015/16.
