Draft Budget 2021/22 Consultation

Overview

Brent Council would like to invite people who live and work in this borough to tell us their views on the proposals for the 2021/22 Budget.  We want to know what services are the most important to local people so we can make the best decisions about where to make savings.

The new proposals for 2021/22 and 2022/23 are designed to limit, as far as possible, service reductions and the impact on front line services particularly during these challenging times.

The key features of the 2021/22 budget are:

• A Council Tax increase of 4.99%, making a Band D Council Tax of £1,378.26 (for the Brent element). The GLA precept is unknown at this stage and is subject to their own decision making and consultation processes.
• New budget savings proposals of £5.1m to be delivered between 2021/22 and 2022/23, as set out in Appendices B and C.
