Cornwall Council Budget Consultation survey

Please complete our short survey to give your views on our draft budget. This survey will close on 14 December 2020.

We propose the following as part of our draft budget and business plan for 2021/22:

• Continuing to develop and implement plans for savings and generating income that were identified in previous years and consult on these as required.
• Increasing council tax to help cover the costs of increasing demand and reduce the need to make service reductions. We are proposing to increase council tax by the maximum increase we are allowed by Government without having to hold a referendum (currently 1.99%).   
• Reducing the size of our organisation and our staffing costs, including through vacancy management, a targeted Voluntary Severance Scheme and a pay review 
• Driving down the costs of our contracts with external providers
• Redesigning our organisation, including by reducing the layers of management and making more use of automation, to create a leaner and more efficient organisation 
• Redesigning our services to be high performing and lower cost, with a customer centric approach delivering better outcomes for residents.
• Changing the way we work, including through formalised flexible working arrangements (ie working from home) to reduce the number of offices and buildings we need to maintain.
• Making investments that help deliver our priorities while generating income to help support our services.
• Continuing to lobby central Government for the funding, powers and flexibility to secure Cornwall’s future.
