Have Your Say On LCC Budget Plan

Residents and businesses are being asked to have their say on Leicestershire County Council’s draft budget plans.

A month-long consultation has launched today, setting out how the authority plans to manage rising costs and demand.

The proposals include an extra £131m for social care and outline the impact of a possible 2.99% council tax rise, though the final decision will not be made until February.

The council is also looking to make savings of £45m, as part of a wider effort to close a projected 106 million pound budget gap by 2030.
