Budget Consultation 2020/21

Following the announcement of the General Election, the Welsh Government settlement to Local Government for next year has been delayed.  As a result Rhondda Cynon Taf’s Budget Consultation for this year will be a phased approach, so that we can ensure residents and stakeholders have as much opportunity as possible to provide views on the budget and to make sure that views are informed by the most up to date and relevant information.

Phase 1

Phase 1 starts on Thursday 21^st November 2019, and runs until Monday 16^th December.  We would like your views on:

• possible Council Tax increases;
• the funding currently provided to deliver services;
• which services should we prioritise for investment;
• possible increases in fees and charges;
• the Council Tax Reduction Scheme;
• the resources allocated to our schools

You can have your say in a number of ways:
