Wiltshire Council have published there Annual Town and Parish Report for 2025-26.
Cllr Richard Clewer
Leader and Cabinet Member for MCI, Economic Development,
Heritage, Arts, Tourism and Health and Wellbeing says:
The Council’s financial plans for 2025/26 set out a balanced budget that ensures funding for vital services and supports the delivery of
business plan priorities, namely to:
Empower people.
Promote a more resilient society.
Support our local economy.
Ensure a more sustainable environment.
Despite the ongoing budget pressures, we have agreed a balanced budget that does not draw down from reserves, and has not increased tax unnecessarily.
The council receives nearly 82% of its corporate funding from local taxes, Business Rates and Council Tax, so we take delivering on our promises to our community very seriously. That is why I am proud, along with the other Cabinet members, to outline in this report how we are using the net £37m increase in
expenditure to continue to provide vital services. This is a summary of activities:-
