Residents in Wolverhampton still have time to have their say on how the City of Wolverhampton Council should spend its budget for the year ahead.
The council launched its budget consultation in November and is inviting residents, businesses, students as well as visitors to the city to share their thoughts about what services matter most to them. Hundreds of people have already completed the survey which closes later this week.
Responses to the consultation will be used to help shape the budget setting process for 2026 to 2027. Councillor Louise Miles, Cabinet Member for Resources, said: “We have a strong track record of managing our money well and take pride in how we have been investing in services that matter most to our residents, including fixing potholes, clearing up fly tipping, building homes for local people and supporting people when they need us the most.
“This consultation gives residents the chance to not only tell us what services matter the most to them, but also provide feedback on our approach to making millions of pounds in savings and say where they’d like us to invest our budget next year. By taking part, we can set a budget and Council Plan for 2026 to 2027 that reflects your priorities, while still delivering excellent services for Wolverhampton.”
The consultation runs until 11.59pm on Friday (16 January 2026) and can be found on the council website. Hard copies of the consultation are also available at all libraries and Family Hubs as well as at the Civic Centre.
