Coventry City Council Budget Consultation 2026/27


We are running our annual budget consultation which starts today, and your feedback can really help shape the way we plan our finances and how we target services for 2026-2027.

In this year’s annual budget consultation there are no cuts proposed to local services, in fact we have the potential for additional investment.

So that’s why, we would love to know your views on how we can deliver the priorities that the public have told us about.

For the first time in about 15 years, the Council anticipates being able to meet its legal duty of setting a balanced budget for 2026/27 without requiring significant service reductions, thanks to expected improvements from the Government's Fair Funding reform.

The Pre-Budget Report outlines potential themes for investment based on public engagement and council performance data. These include:

  • Keeping people safe – tackling crime, improving cleanliness and city centre improvements
  • Anti-social behaviour – including fly tipping
  • Local environments – particularly in deprived neighbourhoods
  • Protecting vulnerable people – tackling child poverty
  • Good jobs, investment and prosperity – addressing youth unemployment and education achievement
  • Helping people to manage – support with bills and energy costs
  • Roads and pavements – improving condition and safety

Please take a few minutes to fill in our survey and register for an engagement session https://letstalk.coventry.gov.uk/budget-26

We really value your opinion.

The deadline for responses is Wednesday 28 January 2026.
