Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has successfully formed proposals for a balanced budget using a combination of service reductions, reserves, Crown Estate revenue and an increase in council tax. The proposed use of Crown Estate revenue has reduced the need for reductions and helped preserve current service levels where possible.
Members of the public can use a feedback form on the Comhairle’s website to give comment on the current budget proposals that were discussed by the Comhairle’s budget board on 15 January.
All feedback received from the public will be used to inform this and future budget setting processes and shared with Members in advance of the Comhairle’s final Budget Meetings on 25 February.
We are consulting to gather the public views on the Comhairle’s budget proposals.
These views will be passed on to Comhairle Members prior to budget setting meetings.
