2026/2027 Budget Consultation
East Dunbartonshire Council’s budget for 2026/2027 will be decided in March 2026 and we want to ensure that any budget proposal addresses the issues that our residents, businesses and workforce feel most strongly about.
As we prepare to set our Budget for 2026/2027, we continue to face a significant funding gap.
All Local Authorities are having to deal with increasing costs including prices for energy, fuel and material, increasing National Insurance contributions and a real time decrease in funding. Councils are legally required to set a balanced budget, meaning we must find ways to make savings or increase our income.
In this Budget consultation survey, we are seeking your views, especially those of you who live in East Dunbartonshire, on what is most important to you.
The views and feedback gathered as part of this consultation will be reviewed and shared with both Officers and Elected Members which will then inform decisions taken at Council in March.
The consultation is now live and will run until Sunday 23 November.
