Winchester City Council has to set its budget and agree the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) in February 2022, and we invited you to have your say.
Despite the challenging circumstances the council has been able to consolidate our financial position for 2022/23 and set a balanced budget. The proposals being considered for the MTFS focus on keeping any increases to Council Tax and fees and charges below the current level of inflation, proposing to not increase the charge for garden waste collection and instead offer a £10 discount to those in receipt of financial support.
The consultation ran from the 1 December until 23 December 2021. We received 32 responses.
72% of respondents agreed with the overall approach to the budget. The results are outlined below:
