Introduction
Toby Savage, Leader of South Gloucestershire Council
Dear fellow resident
‘Where your money goes’ outlines important information about your council tax and business rates and how your money is used to deliver services in South Gloucestershire for the benefit of all residents.
Over this past year, the council has focused on three key priorities – raising educational standards and outcomes, improving our streets and the local environment, and making sure we offer value for money to our residents. I am extremely proud that we have not only been able to balance the budget for the next two years but we’re also keeping our focus on the quality of services alongside the delivery of our savings targets.
This budget really shows that the council is investing into the next generation, through our schools, through added support for our vulnerable young people and through support for their carers. We are investing in our infrastructure and boosting employability through supporting our small businesses and through regional projects to revitalise the hubs of our community.
Our goal is to ensure South Gloucestershire continues to be a fantastic place to live and work.
Yours sincerely,
Cllr Toby Savage, Leader of the council
