Budget Consultation for 2026 to 2030
The first stage of Cheshire East Council's Budget Consultation for 2026 to 2030 consists of a Budget Prioritisation Survey which is running between 6 and 30 October 2025.
The purpose of this short survey is to understand what your priorities are for the council to consider when putting together its budget.
Your feedback will help us put together the draft budget, and will be taken into consideration within the budget report which will go to Full Council on 25 February 2026.
Give your views on the Budget Prioritisation Survey
We will be carrying out a more-detailed budget consultation exercise with residents and communities, to give them the opportunity to give their views on specific spending proposals to be included in the budget for 2026-27 and medium-term financial strategy for the next four years. This will include opportunities through a new community assembly, which will meet in person as part of our commitment to improving our commitment to improving our approach to engagement with residents.
