Residents are being reminded to participate in a consultation and share their views on the services provided by the Council, as well as how resources should be prioritised in the future.
The Budget and Corporate Plan consultation runs until 9 January, and all residents are encouraged to take part by completing an online survey.
The Council is committed to listening to and engaging with residents to continuously improve service provision and inform decision-making.
Residents are being asked to provide feedback on two important matters: the Council’s Budget for the financial year from April 2025 to the end of March 2026, and the city’s key priorities for the years ahead.
The first part of the consultation seeks feedback on how the Council can make the best use of its resources to set a balanced budget for 2025/2026.
The second part invites residents to share their views on the Council’s key priorities for the future, which will be outlined in its emerging new Corporate Plan.
Feedback on what matters most to residents will help councillors make informed decisions about both the Council’s short-term spending plans and its longer-term priorities.
Council Leader Phil Bialyk said: “We’re committed to listening to our residents, and this consultation is an important way for people to make their voices heard on the future of our city.
“Every voice matters, and the responses we receive will help to ensure that decisions made by the Council reflect the needs of everyone in Exeter.”
Chief Executive Bindu Arjoon added: “Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. It is very important that we receive as much feedback as possible through this consultation to help shape the future delivery of our services in Exeter.”
The survey can be completed online at exeter.gov.uk/budgetconsultation and should take no more than 10 minutes.
If anyone needs help completing the survey, they can drop in to the Council’s Customer Service Centre on Paris Street between 9am and 2pm, or alternatively call 01392 277888 and select option 8.
