Wirral Council has set a balanced budget for the coming year, ensuring its costs of providing services can be contained within its available resources.
Although Wirral Council has no direct involvement or decision-making powers over the project, councillors have called an Extraordinary Meeting of full Council to debate the issue and represent the views of their constituents.
The council has been preparing for the coming year based on how much is expected to be received from council tax, business rates, grants from Government and other income such as fees. This is balanced against the costs of providing all council services.
A report which looks in at how Wirral Council has performed over the year 2024-25 – known as the Auditor’s Annual Report (AAR) – has been published. This report, carried out independently of the council, also contains recommendations on what the council can do to improve in the future.
