Bassetlaw District Council’s financial year runs from 1st April to 31st March. This means that they start setting our annual budget for the following year in October. As part of this process, we would like residents and businesses to let us know what is important to them.
In this survey you will be asked about how satisfied you are with your area and the Council, how we should balance our budget and whether you think Council services should either be; funded, reduced or stopped, or transformed to deliver cost savings. There are also some standard demographic questions that help us understand the views of different groups and of people living in different areas of the district.
The results of the survey will be presented to Cabinet on 6th February 2025 as part of the General Fund Budget 2025/26 to 2029/30 report. This report will set out the considerations that have had to be made to balance the budget for 2025/26 and to establish savings targets for future years.
We will also publish the result of the survey on our website in January 2025.
The survey runs from 1st November 2024 to the 12th December 2024. The easiest way to complete this survey is online. This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
You can also return paper versions of the survey to Bassetlaw District Council, Queen’s Buildings, Potter Street, Worksop, S80 2AH or leave them in one of the ballot boxes next to where you picked up your survey.
