Notts County Council Budget

Nottinghamshire County Council Budget 2024/25

The 2024/25 budget sees an increase in overall spending of over £47m, with more than £160m being invested in capital projects across Nottinghamshire.

Good, sound financial decisions, and the hard work we've undertaken with partners and communities in recent years, puts us in a better position than most councils to balance our budgets and transition our services to something more sustainable going forward.

Pressures on local government services, in particular, the cost of delivering care services has been well documented, but we're proud that this council will continue to invest in key, core services to build resilience and independence, leading to better outcomes for everyone.

We're focussed on protecting the early help and prevention services that support the most vulnerable individuals and communities across the county.

We're investing in our children's future, with £48m to ensure that there are sufficient school places and a further £22m invested to support the provision of new school places for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Over the next few years, £142m will be invested in highways including road repairs, road safety, and improvements to bus services.

This is a budget that invests, builds community resilience, sustainable services and looks at economic growth and regeneration for future generations. It helps to make Nottinghamshire a place that people are proud to call home.
