Kent County Council Budget Consultation

Published: 11 August 2025

Kent County Council's Budget Consultation 2026-27 is now open for your views.

Every year Kent County Council sets a budget to determine how much money will be spent on services.

They are continuing to face the challenge of significant spending demands and cost increases largely in adults' and children's social care. They need to manage this within the funding available, which mainly comes from Council Tax and Government grants. This requires tough choices about priorities for the future.

As they plan their spending for 2026-27, they need to hear:

• How comfortable you would be with reductions in spending across our different service areas.

• Your suggestions for how to make further savings, efficiencies and increase income.

• Your views on Council Tax options.
