Leicestershire County Council's Budget Survey

Dan Harrison, Leader of Leicestershire County Council has contacted Parish Councils to encourage participation in a budget survey. Dan Harrison has written to Parish Councils to say:

"...I want to underline the scale of the challenge and encourage you to give your feedback.

"Relentless demand for services and uncertainty around Government funding mean we must act decisively. Our draft plan earmarks £131m extra for social care and sets out early measures to reduce costs and close a forecast £100m budget gap by 2030.

"Next year's proposals include the potential income from a 2.99% Council Tax rise, but the final decision will be made in February once we have clarity on funding and growth pressures.

"This consultation is your opportunity to shape vital services. Please share your views and encourage residents to do the same by completing our short online survey:

"The consultation runs until 18 January 2026. Your leadership in promoting this locally will make a real difference.

"Thank you for your support—I'll keep you updated as we move forward."
