Gloucestershire County Council is set to agree investment of an initial £1 million Action Fund to help tackle climate change, as part of a £31 million overall increase to the council’s 2020/21 budget.
The £468 million budget for 2020/21 also sets aside more than £73.6 million of capital investment for schools and children and family services, bringing total expected capital investment to around £160 million by 2023. A further £12.9 million will be directed into children’s services and £49.8 million has been allocated to deliver on the third year of the council’s £150m Your Highways programme.
Gloucestershire County Council has also identified £9.58 million of savings for next year, helping to meet increased demand and costs.
Mark Hawthorne, leader of the council, said: “Following valuable feedback from people across the county, cabinet will now consider if our draft budget meets the priorities and expectations of Gloucestershire residents. The proposed budget for next year shows that we can deliver - investing in quality services now and for a successful tomorrow. Thank you to all who took the time to comment on our budget proposals - we will listen carefully to what you have told us.”
