Budget consultation launched by Pendle Borough Council

Residents, businesses and local organisations are being encouraged to share their views on Pendle Borough Council’s finances as it prepares its budget for 2025/26.

A consultation is now underway until Friday, February 14, giving local people a chance to have their say on how the council spends its money.

Asjad Mahmood, leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “We’re proud to deliver a wide range of services to residents across Pendle.

“And we’re committed to providing good quality and good value for money services that local people want and need.

“Please take the time to have your say. This is your opportunity to influence important financial decisions, including how much Council Tax you pay.”

The council receives the majority of its funding through Council Tax, with the balance coming from Government grants and Business Rates.

In 2025/26 Pendle Borough Council has a funding shortfall of approximately £1 million so it needs to identify ways to tackle this through savings and income generation.

Pendle has more than 97,000 residents.

The consultation survey can be completed here: www.pendle.gov.uk/BudgetConsultation
