The Council provides a range of information on its Financial Plan, Budget and Council Tax and has, over the years, supplemented statutory budget consultation with business ratepayers with occasional public and/or stakeholder consultation exercises and consultation with trade unions, but does not have a routine process for wider budget consultation.
The Resources O&S Panel members reviewed the way in which the authority engages with members of the public on budgetary issues. The purpose of this review was to explore the ways in which Bath and North East Somerset Council engages with the public when deciding and setting council budgets. The panel has taken the opportunity to explore and present options for improvement to the current methods of engagement.
