WSCC Budget 2025-26

The county council is running a public consultation on our budget, our Council Plan, and how we spend taxpayers’ money in the coming financial year 2025 to 2026.

The views of our residents across West Sussex are vital to the budget-setting process, ensuring we’re making the best use of our resources and can continue to invest in and deliver services that support our communities.

That’s why we’re encouraging as many people as possible to take part.

The consultation closes on Sunday 15 December and all comments will be considered as part of the budget setting process for 2025 to 2026.

The West Sussex County Council Cabinet is due to consider feedback from the public consultation at a meeting in January before recommending the Council Plan and budget to Full Council in February for a final decision.
