Tell us what matters to you, as we start work on setting the council budget for next year.

Redbridge is facing unprecedented financial pressures as demand for essential services, like adult social care, child protection, and homelessness support, continues to soar. We are working with government to ensure the challenges that we are facing are properly understood and will continue to call for our borough to receive its fair share of public funding.

Please fill in our budget survey and give your views on how and where you think our budget can do most good. Link to survey in the comments. 👇
