Local council budget plans
Epping Forest District Council has revealed draft plans for the protection of key public services in a balanced budget for 2025/26.
However, the report to Cabinet scheduled for 3rd February also outlines tough choices as the council manages higher costs and a disappointing financial settlement from the Government.
The draft budget includes almost £1.5million of savings compared to 2024/25. Key factors balancing the books included a negative Government settlement which offsets a proposed increase of 2.99% in Council Tax, equating to £4.99 per year for a Band D property.
