Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council are inviting residents to have their say on budget proposals.

Like many councils up and down the country, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council are facing a significant shortfall in funding due to rising cost pressures from inflation and increasing demands for council services. 

The council has put together budget proposals to allow it to deliver services and make sure that it can continue to provide help and support for those who need it most throughout our borough.
