What we are consulting on
CWAC are consulting on the proposals we are considering to set a balanced budget for 2019/20. This is the last year of our four-year budget plan.
CWAC will soon develop a four-year plan for 2020/24. It will take into account national funding following the Government’s Spending Review and consider local priorities. Some emerging themes for the 2020/24 plan are considered in this document and we welcome your views now as we develop firmer proposals. This will be subject to a full consultation in 2019.
