The Council and democracy The draft budget proposals 2017-20

Bereavement services

Increase income from bereavement services, saving £160,000 over three years. We would invest £20,000 in improvements to the service to increase the number of burials and cremations undertaken. This could increase the service's income by £60,000 a year.

What people said when we asked about this between 3 November and 15 December 2016

People said:

Just under two thirds agreed or strongly agreed with raising more income by investing to increase the number of burials and cremations. Fourteen percent disagreed or strongly disagreed.

We said:

This is now a budget proposal.

Consultation on our proposed budget closed on 10 February 2017. We listened hard and will considered all responses before finally setting our budget at our council meeting on 3 March.

Thanks to the thousands who joined the conversation.
