Cotswold District Council is undertaking a consultation on its proposed budget for the 2020/21 financial year. 

The budget will cover areas including housing, leisure and recreation, environmental health, waste collection, planning applications and local taxation collections. It does not cover education, highways, libraries or social care, which are the responsibility of Gloucestershire County Council. 

Below is a short survey about investing in our services, and how we plan to finance it. We would welcome your views. 

The consultation will run for three weeks from Monday 6 January to Sunday 26 January. The findings will be shared with councillors before they make decisions on the budget at a Council meeting on 26 February. 

To see all of our priorities, please read our proposals for the 2020/21 budget.

* 1. Having seen how we believe we should focus our spending in 2020/21, do you agree with our budget plans?

Question Title

* 2. Which is the most important to you? (Rank from 1-8, with 1 being the most important, and 8 the least)

Question Title

* 3. Do you agree that we should increase Council tax by £5 per year for a Band D property to help fund these plans?

Question Title

* 4. Do you agree that it is fair to increase parking charges in the District for the first time since 2010?

Question Title

* 5. Our new fortnightly garden waste collection service will cost the council £45 per subscribed household to run; but at present we charge £30 for a weekly service.
