Budget consultation
Budget consultation 2026-27
The process for setting the council’s budget for 2026-27 is now underway.
Having made efficiencies of more than £140 million over the last decade, the projected budget gap for next year is more than £14m. You can have your say on what we do about that by giving us your views on 17 saving options.

The most popular way to take part is through an online survey, which you can access below. You can also participate through a dedicated email savings@southlanarkshire.gov.uk or by sending your views in writing to:
