Milton Keynes City Council has outlined its long-term financial stability strategy for managing the ongoing financial pressures it faces, which includes a projected revenue budget shortfall of £32 million over the next three years.
Called Changing because we have to the new strategy sets out how the city council intends to become even more productive, improve the impact of its services, and do more in partnership with other organisations.
“Milton Keynes City Council is a well-managed and financially stable council, but our outlook remains challenging especially as we manage high levels of need for social care and homelessness support. Our new strategy is necessary so that we can continue to balance our budget and provide essential services that local people value.”
“Whilst nationally, many councils have had to rely on temporary emergency financial support from the government, Milton Keynes City Council continues to take proactive steps to avoid being in such a position.”
Residents can provide any feedback on the strategy by 14 May by emailing change@milton-keynes.gov.uk
A decision to adopt the strategy is planned for Tuesday 3 June.
