Wiltshire Council's budget for 2025/26 has been approved as they continue their long-term focus on prevention.
The confirmed budget for 2025/26 is around £527m, compared to last year’s £490m. There will be a net £37m increase in spending on services, ensuring the resources are provided to deliver our priorities.
They write "Our strong financial foundations mean we don't need to increase the Wiltshire Council element of our council tax as much as it is permitted to by Government – being one of the few councils in the country in this position. Therefore, it will increase it by 4.5% (2.5% for basic council tax and a 2% adult social care levy) rather than the full 4.99% permitted."
