Let's Talk Fareham's Finances

Fareham Borough Council is committed to the responsible management of Council finances. It continues to plan ahead carefully to meet the future needs of Fareham residents while providing a good level of service.

However, the current cost of living crisis and rise in inflation rates has presented the Council with significant financial pressure. As a result of the economic climate, it is costing more for the Council to provide the same core services.

It is important to the Council that it is open and transparent about how it manages its finances and would like to invite residents to find out more and have their say on proposals to address its financial challenges by completing a short survey:

The survey can be completed until 14 February and paper copies can also be obtained during opening hours at the Fareham Borough Council Civic Offices.

Cllr Simon Martin, Leader of Fareham Borough Council, said “There is a continued need to focus on how we can make services more efficient to meet demand, while, protecting as far as possible, services to the residents of the Borough. We encourage everyone to take part in the survey and have their say on how we can continue to deliver quality services in the future and deliver the priorities set for the Borough.’’
