BTN responds to Borough Council Plan 2020-2024

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s consultation on its plan for 2020-2024 and budget 2020-21 ends on 1st January, so we have just submitted BTN’s response, which is here: BTNresponseto2020-2024plan1412j

There’s still time for you to make a personal response – see https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/priorities for online form and all the supporting documents.

The budget bottom line is grim, though: a £5M deficit is the forecast for 2024, which makes it difficult for the Council to be as ambitious as we’d like.
