Conwy County Borough Council is asking people which services are most important to them and their communities.

Councils across the UK are facing increasing costs and demand for services, driven by the cost of living crisis, fuel and energy prices, interest rate rises and the lasting impact of the pandemic.

Conwy County Borough Council estimates that delivering day-to-day services from April 2024 to March 2025, including schools, social care, waste collection, leisure centres and many others, will cost an extra £30million.

As with all Councils, Conwy must identify every opportunity to use its money more effectively to drive down costs and, unfortunately, this can result in a reduction in the level of services being delivered.

Council Leader, Cllr Charlie McCoubrey, said: “We know that we will have to make some very difficult decisions to set the 2024/25 budget to make sure that our limited resources are prioritised and money is spent where it is needed most.

“When it comes to making decisions on next year’s finances, your input could help shape a budget that reflects community priorities.

“I’d urge everyone who lives or works in Conwy to take a look at the information we’ve put together about the financial situation, and let us know which services are most important to you and your local community.”

The full details and the survey are available on the Conwy website at: www.conwy.gov.uk/haveyoursay

If you’re not online you can get a paper copy at Coed Pella or at your local library.

Please submit your feedback by 2 February 2024.

The results will be presented to councillors next month to help inform their budget setting discussions.
