Investing in the community and protecting essential services – a key focus of our 2025/26 budget
We’ve published our 2025/26 budget proposals which shows we are able to balance our budget whilst protecting essential services and giving them a much-needed funding boost.
We’re making sure we get the job done, delivering services that matter most to our residents and businesses whilst planning for long-term service transformation to address the medium-term budget gap.

Norwich to Tilbury is a proposal for a new electricity transmission connection. It will play an important part in connecting low carbon, more affordable electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed.
Targeted consultation on changes in Norfolk and Suffolk – 12 noon Thursday 30 January until 11:59 pm Monday 3 March 2025
We’re holding a series of targeted consultations on some potential changes to the proposals we published at our statutory consultation in summer 2024.
Most of these changes have been identified from feedback we’ve received. Before we make any decisions, we are going back to consult with those people living near these proposed changes.
We are phasing the consultations starting with locations in Norfolk and Suffolk from Thursday 30 January until Monday 3 March 2025 and will follow up next month with locations in Essex and Thurrock. Each consultation will be open for 30 days. While these are local, targeted non-statutory consultations anyone can take part, and all our targeted consultations materials are available on our project website.
