At present the City Council spends about £140 million a year to deliver services in Cambridge. This is paid for mainly from rent, fees and charges for services, a share of local business rates, Government grants and Council Tax.
The City Council needs to find savings of around £6.9 million over the next five years to maintain and develop these services, taking into account inflation, legislative changes, the increasing costs of serving a growing population and the impact of a significantly reducing Government grant. This is in addition to the £11 million that the City Council has already saved over the past five years.
The City Council has to make choices about the services it prioritises, within the resources it has available, and is keen to know your views on those services that impact on business.
