Salisbury residents are being asked where we think the City Council's Budget should go, during the 2025/26 financial year.

They're holding a public consultation before making any decisions.

The City Council is responsible for things like parks, community activities, some car parks and the crematorium, but other services like roads maintenance, business rates, waste collections and social care are looked after by Wiltshire Council.

Cllr Victoria Charleston, Leader of the Lib Dem Group said:

“Two areas that are of vital importance to this council are listening to residents and allocating funding that best reflects their priorities. This consultation process combines these two areas. I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to get involved; this is your City and your Council.”

We can take part in the Budget survey online |newtab), or by picking up paper copies from:

• Salisbury Information Centre

• Shopmobility

• Salisbury Crematorium

• Bemerton Heath Centre

• Salisbury Library

• Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre

The survey will close at 5.00pm on Friday 22nd November.
