BCP Council budget 2023/24
Consultation has concluded
Thank you to all those people who took part in our budget engagement survey and ideas wall.
Over 1,400 people completed a survey and 249 submitted an idea on the ideas wall. You can see the results here.
The results will be considered alongside the budget report at our Corporate and Community Overview and Scrutiny meeting, Cabinet and then at Full Council.
Following the council meeting on 21 February, council agreed a balanced budget for 2023/24.
-
The council already works with the community voluntary sector, charities, volunteers and businesses who are providing advice and delivering hundreds of services in our local area.
- Do you have any ideas how we can further this work?
- Could a service currently run by the council be provided differently?
- Could a group of residents, community groups, volunteers provide a service instead?
- What could the council do to enable this?

Increase what you pay for care packages
With the desperate shortage of carers in BCP, with a better hourly rate, this would discourage present carers from leaving the care profession

Continue the excellent work on cycle routes which will make massive difference once completed. But make sure they include Christchurch.
Reduce Congestion and improve air quality.

Access to places
You are constantly bullying people to use public transport, cycling, and walking whilst excluding vehicles and in a utopian world this would be okay but you forget many people have health issues that are not evident unlike someone using a wheelchair. It is time you adjusted your views to this and stop negatively discriminating against these people who out of necessity use their own transport to go to various events, locations, and venues. It should be an inclusive society but in my opinion, is getting worse for these people. :-(

Use beach huts / empty shops for crafts / small businesses
Especially in winter or off season for the beach huts. Use empty shops to encourage local crafters / businesses to set up on a short term basis for periods such as Christmas. Would encourage visitors. Similar scheme in Swanage.
