A public consultation on the services provided by Exeter City Council and how resources should be prioritised in the future is entering its final week.
The Budget and Corporate Plan consultation runs until 9 January, and all residents are encouraged to take part by completing an online survey.
The survey seeks feedback on the Council’s Budget for the financial year 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.
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.
