Members of the public are being urged to take part in Dundee City Council’s 2026-27 budget consultation before it closes.Over 2000 people have already had their say in the ongoing budget consultation, which will close to new submissions on Friday, 19th December.Citizens and organisations can give their feedback on a spending priorities and a range of specific options to address the Council’s potential budget gap.Free internet access is available in all libraries, with IT support from staff. Citizens can also take part via paper forms available in libraries and community centres.The budget consultation is taking place after elected members previously considered the Council's budget strategy and financial outlook which identified a funding deficit of £8.4m for next year. It is noted this deficit may increase if the Council is unable to reduce the level of overspend in the current financial year on a recurring basis or further cost pressures emerge before next year.Any final gap will require to be made up from efficiencies, additional income including government grants or an increase in local Council Tax. The estimated gap is before any agreed increase in Council tax, where for each 1% added to the current charge, the Council would expect to generate additional income of £700,000 each year. In the event that the deficit cannot be fully met by those items, the Council may also consider removing certain services and details of any options to do so are included in the consultation survey.Councillor Mark Flynn, Leader of Dundee City Council, said: “The response to the public consultation so far has been very encouraging, however we know how important it is that everyone who lives and works in Dundee is given the opportunity to influence how the Council spends its budget.“The Council is responsible for a wide range of services which affect people’s lives, such as Education, providing social care, maintaining roads and pavements, collecting household waste, and so much more.
