Consultation launches on Leeds City Council’s 2024/25 budget proposals

The 2024/25 budget proposals show how the council intends to address the funding gap including a proposed council tax increase of 4.99 per cent (two per cent of which is earmarked for adult social care funding). View the full budget press release outlining proposed building closures, service changes and price increases. 

The online consultation survey is now live at Leeds City Council Budget Consultation 2024-25 and will run until the end of Wednesday 10 January 2024. The council would like to hear the views of everyone who lives, studies, works in or visits Leeds on how it should continue to fund services. Views and feedback will also be received from a range of stakeholders including councillors, trades unions, business representatives and third sector groups. Staff in council-managed community hubs are available to support people to fill in the survey if needed. 

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and every response will be reviewed with the results feeding into the final budget plans that will be available to read in February 2024.
