Members of the public are being urged to participate in Pembrokeshire County Council’s budget consultation 2023-24.

Launched December 5, the consultation is an opportunity for the public to engage with the Authority on how the funding gap can be met.

Like other Councils in Wales, Pembrokeshire County Council continues to face significant budget pressures – especially in light of the cost-of-living crisis.

Cllr Alec Cormack, Cabinet Member for Finance, encouraged all those interested in how the Council spends its funds to take part in the consultation.

“It’s very important that we hear from as many people in Pembrokeshire as possible,” he said.

“Like other Councils, we are once again facing significant budget pressures and understanding community and household priorities is vital in helping us to make the difficult choices necessary in setting the 2023-24 budget.

“We look forward to hearing from you.”

How to take part in the consultation:

• Join a Facebook Live Stream event on December 14 from 6 pm. Put your budget questions directly to Cllr Alec Cormack or the Council’s Director of Resources, Jon Haswell, or listen to the discussion.
