Have your say - Consultation closes on 2 September 2026

Every year Kent County Council sets a budget to determine how much money will be spent on services.

We are continuing to face the challenge of significant spending demands and cost increases largely in adults’ and children’s social care. We need to manage this within the funding available, which mainly comes from Council Tax and Government grants. This requires tough choices about priorities for the future.

As we plan our spending for the year ahead, we need to hear your views on:

  • Priorities for making savings across our different service areas
  • How we could save money and increase income
  • Our Council Tax options.

The KCC Budget Consultation closes on 7 September 2026.
