Hear the draft budget and tell the council what matters most to you.
Residents are invited to see how the draft 2027 budget divides spending across services, and to question the finance team directly. The meeting takes place in the Council Chamber at City Hall and is streamed live for anyone who cannot attend.
The evening opens with a short presentation on income, capital projects and the main changes from last year. Most of the time is set aside for questions, with small group tables on housing, transport and parks.
No booking is needed, and interpreters and hearing loops are available on request. Comments can also be sent in writing for two weeks after the meeting, and a summary will go to the council before its final vote.
