Reason for the consultation

We are required to set an annual budget to determine how much money will be spent on services.

All councils continue to face the challenge of significant spending demands and cost increases. This pressure is seen largely in adults and children鈥檚 social care and home to school transport, alongside providing all the other services which are essential to residents and businesses of Worcestershire.
