Closing date for comments is noon on Friday 8 February 2013.

The budget setting strategy is being set against a backdrop of public spending cuts, rising costs and reduced income. West Oxfordshire District Council remains committed to safeguarding frontline services that matter most to residents.

The Council is also committed to keeping council tax low and doing what we can to protect key voluntary organisations.

Setting the budget is a challenging task, but a council-wide efficiency savings programme, now coming up to its fifth year, has delivered huge savings and is helping us to tackle some of the serious financial issues that face every local authority. We will continue to make further savings wherever possible.

We welcome your views by completing the survey above.
