Pembrokeshire County Council is holding an early budget consultation for 2025-26 to gauge public opinion on how to manage a predicted funding shortfall of £84.6m over the next four years, with £30m of that relating to 2025-26.

The Council experienced unprecedented increase in demand for its services in 2023/24, including an additional £13.9m on Additional Learning Needs, Adults and Children’s Social Care and Homelessness.

The additional £17m for 2024-25 is unlikely to be enough to fund these pressures.

Responses to this consultation will assist in informing the development of the Council’s budget for 2025-26.

Closing date is Sunday, September 29. People can give their views online via forms.office.com/e/MgGW23xEhp, or call 01437 764551 for a paper form.
