The first public budget consultation meeting will be held at Portsmouth Guildhall on 7th October at 7pm in the Council Chamber.
Over the next three years the council has to save at least another £37m from the £211m of our budget that we control. This is on top of the £61.3m we have already saved over the past four years.
We are working hard to meet the challenge and continue to provide quality services for our residents but we cannot make these savings through efficiencies alone. Tough choices have to be made about the services we continue to provide.
The council is running a budget consultation to ask for views about some possible ways we could save money. The suggestions in the consultation are very much just ideas at this stage. No decisions have been taken.
If you are interested, please take part in the consultation. Your views will help to shape the budget.
