Budget Proposals Consultation 2022-23

Overview

We are looking to finalise our plans for the 2022/23 budget, and we need your help by telling us what you think of the proposals. Please complete this survey to submit your feedback.

Our budget proposals can be summarised as follows:

• We are proposing to continue to invest in what residents tell us is important to them, that benefit people right across the borough from renovations to our landmark Astley Hall through to supporting our famous Chorley Markets and town centre and major developments that will create jobs and provide better healthcare facilities for residents.
• We are proposing investment of approximately £30m of capital funding to drive forward ambitions for economic growth and business development, to deliver high quality health services and to deliver sustainable public services through transforming the council accommodation and working closely with partners to integrate services.
• To allow us to keep moving Chorley forward we are proposing to increase our portion of the council tax by 7 pence per week and proposing a below inflation increase in fees and charges, including an increase of £2.50 in the annual garden waste collection cost.  The council will continue to support those most vulnerable and in need of additional council tax support through its council tax support scheme.
