Leeds City Council is looking for your thoughts as part of our 2025/26 budget consultation.

Like councils up and down the country, we’re facing our most significant financial challenge ever.  Funding levels haven’t kept pace with rising costs and huge increases in demand for our services, especially those that support Leeds’ most vulnerable children and adults.

We’ve already cut costs where we can, but we still estimate that we’ll need to make around £106m of savings next year, nearly one fifth of our net budget. The budget proposals we’re presenting therefore include service and staffing reductions, fee increases and new charges, building closures and sales, and reduced hours of operation.

By taking part, your views will help make sure that final decisions made are in the best interests of the city and the people who live, work, visit and study in Leeds.

Have your say today by visiting https://bit.ly/LCCBudget2526_DGL.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and closes at the end of Wednesday 8 January.
