The Leader of the Council, Councillor Shantanu Rajawat, will be hosting a livestream to answer questions from residents about the council's proposals for the budget.

This follows the provisional Local Government financial settlement announced in December. The live stream will be on Tuesday 30 January. 

Hounslow Council says this year it has entered its budget setting process with 'huge financial pressures' as a result of high inflation and high interest rates.

This has caused increased running costs, which has been aggravated by failed government policies, causing a crisis in health, social care, the asylum system and housing. 

Despite this the Council is looking to deliver a balanced, sustainable budget despite extraordinary financial pressures, whilst delivering on its commitments to build a Thriving, Safer, Cleaner, Greener and Healthier borough for residents, businesses, and communities.  

The final settlement will be announced by the end of January/beginning of February.  

Event details:   

Hear from Cllr Rajawat about the budget, spending, impact and more. Residents are welcome to ask any questions about council tax and the budget.
