Arun District Council Budget Consultation 2025-2026
As a district council our role is to make Arun a better place to live, work and visit as well as delivering public services.
Our resources remain stretched and will likely continue to be so for the medium term. Therefore, we need to make sure that we allocate our money in the right places to meet our aims and provide essential services to our public. The budget is crucial in achieving this.
We are asking the public for their views on next year’s budget via a public consultation.
The Council Vision 2022-2026 has four priorities, and the budget is developed to ensure funds are available and resources are committed to deliver these priorities:
- improving the wellbeing of Arun
- delivering the right homes in the right places
- supporting our environment to support us
- fulfilling Arun’s economic potential
Cllr Martin Lury, Leader of Arun District Council said:
“Providing quality services for our residents, businesses and visitors remains our priority and making sure that we use our funds appropriately to meet that aim is something we, as a council, work hard to achieve. Funding from central government has decreased over several years yet the challenges we continue to face remain significant. We aim to spend the council’s money in a way that achieves our Vision and delivers quality services for the district of Arun. We want to hear from the public as part of our plans for the future and encourage all to participate in this consultation.”
The public consultation is now live at Arun District Council Budget Consultation 2025-2026 and will be available until it closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 26 January 2025.
